I know forgivness for I have forgiven
I know hard times for I have survived many

Thou my stem maybe flexible
My mind is immeasurable
So watch me soar

My compassion for you only extends to the compassion
You bestowed upon me
No longer will I over extend
Expecting to reach

Today I will be found by something or someone new
And the old rules will still remain true

Accept me as you find me
All my fears and failures
My flaws and scars

My likes and dislikes
My being a blessing , being blessed
My attitude on this avenue
Without fear but perseverance to pass the given test

You don’t know me
So you cannot fix me
( and lord Jesus )
Please don’t pretend to have the cure

I need more than Doctor feel good
I need Doctor be good for me

I am who I am and will be damn if I change
The prescription you have for me
Is redirection of pain

So I want you to comprehend
Possibly understand

I am still growing
Mistakes will be made

Until the day all that is useless to me is relinquished
There will be many drummers with different beats
Sometimes I may fall, begin to weep
What makes me different is you didn’t break me
You just made me weak
.
Yet you know what ……
I still stand strong …………
