As I Am

I always wonder 
If anyone sees me as I am.
Some people say I'm a waste of space,
While others disagree.
I don't really care about
What other people say. 
Some accept me as I am
Others just walk away. 
Everyone should know
That being different isn't a bad thing. 
For everyone knows that
I am strong,
I am forgiving,
I am kind,
I am gentle. 
I am me. 
And I know that, too. 
I am not willing to change for anyone else. 
I always try day by day
And I know that I'm nice,
I'm friendly, 
And kind. 
I always stay healthy
And when someone needs me, I'll be there.
I never complain
I keep my house clean
I always use good manners. 
I'm smart enough to choose the things I do
I try and help who I can
I stand up for what I feel
And never worry about how I fit in with a crowd. 
I know I'm not perfect,
But I'm perfect as I am. 
And I wonder
If people around me think 
They're perfect as they are, too.
