Rough Around the Edges
I am filled with mistakes,
Because I am human,
And that's what make us alive.
But mistakes can be more than mistakes,
And our minds can be the greatest weapon
To attack our own self.
But one day, I realized something,
Something fantastic,
That I am proud of who I am.
All my mistakes, all my problems,
They define me.
I am who I am
Problems and all.
No one can take that away,
not even myself.
But I would never want to.
Because I am,
And always will be,
Me.
I may be rough around the edges.
But I really am flawless.
Because we all are.
And I am proud of my calluses,
because they make me strong,
they make me real,
and best of all,
they make me alive.
