Accepting thyself
Mr Intelligence 2003 (Kakamega)
I've made mistakes,
Promises in joy I knew I'd break,
Agreed to things I never wished,
Sat in rooms where I didn't belong.
But I forgave myself for all of it,
Accepted the past,
for it can't be changed,
Learned to love myself again.
And one thing I've learned, my friend:
In all you do, forgive yourself,
Embrace who you are,
Don't be so cruel to your own heart.
Always accept thyself,
Learn to love yourself again!!!
