Accepting Yourself

It’s better to be the unique you,

Then to try to mimic others in the zoo.

Coming into your own,

Isn’t as easy as others have shown.

It requires us to take some personal time,

To truly find the confidence to shine.

Feeling comfortable in your own skin,

Removes the worry if you are too fat or too thin.

Trust that you will find,

Everything that is meant for you will come in due time.

For when you become who you are,

You no longer look near or far.

You rid yourself of repentance,

Opening the door to self-acceptance.

Loving yourself inside and out,

Eliminating others opinions and doubt.

I have written many prose and poems on this matter...I firmly believe that the key to happiness all begins with ourselves...

I loved reading this wonderful poem and the way in which each verse
represents such a great truth in accepting one's self. This is a
Well written poem and tells it like it is. Just be you and love who
God made you to be. Don't want to be anyone else, just love you for
who God made you to be. I loves the verses "You no longer look near
or far, you rid yourself of repentance".

Repentance in the concept of sin, is always necessary if you want to be whole with God.

Loving oneself the way we are is the first step to being happy and healthy. On the other hand, if we recognize that we are too fat, or our eating habits make us anorexic, then we should be conscious enough of ourselves to self correct.

So many make excuses for their troubles when they cause them by personal abuse like taking drugs, eating too much or other unhealthy practices trying to mask real feelings with symptom relievers.
