LOVE ME AS I AM
There’s a flower in a field
that knows just how I feel
Hiding out lonely with the stones
Climbing up through the weeds
there’s a beauty that nobody sees
There’s more of us
I know I’m not alone.
I need time to heal
I need my own time to feel
When I get sad
it doesn’t mean I’m not okay
Love me as I am
Love me when you think I can’t
Love me while I find my own way
You see me every day
From a far off distant place
Some days it’s hard to be me
It does not mean that I am weak
When I have no words to speak
I just don’t know what I want to say
I need time to heal
I need my own time to feel
When I get sad
it doesn’t mean I’m not okay
Love me as I am
Love me when you think I can’t
Love me while I find my own way
I am mending my wounds
feeling the scars
It’s okay not to be okay
Stopping these thoughts
From taking me down
I am getting stronger every day
Love me as I am
Love me when you think I can’t
Love me while I find
Love me while I find
Love me while I find my own way
