Uniquely Different

I am imperfect yet you chastise me for it again

I understand you love perfection

But it is not the roadmap for excellence

I am not you so my thoughts aren't identical to yours

So don't criticize me if my conclusion is different than yours

I am not the image in your mental magazine

But I am beautiful just not your definition of what it means

I may not be the ideal person you want to see

But my personal acceptance lives inside of me

I won't let you push me around

But I have no anger in my heart for you

This is just my sincerest response

Although judged for being uniquely different

I refuse to wear a permanent frown
