Your hair is too thin, your hair is too thick

So easily insults come so swift and so quick

Your hair is too curly, your hair is too straight

Why does this have to be something we contemplate

Your too short, your too tall

We can’t seem to have it all

Your too thin, your overweight

Your posture is bad, stand up straight

You’re just a know it all, you’re not smart enough

Your much too weak, or much too tough

You’re too much, you are not enough too

Your stuff is old, or it’s much too new

Your clothes are messy, or there just too tight

Why can’t we seem to get it right

Nobodys perfect, yet, we often try too hard to be

Instead of saying, I simply like me

This world will try to invalidate

The way God makes us with perfectionisms hate

Though we forget that we are part of His design

With a purpose and a plan that He had in mind

If we try to live up to what this world wants from us its true

We won’t ever measure up; they’ll always want more from you

We must realize we won’t get too far

When we put ourselves down for the way we are

We are cared for with His love that supplies

And we are all special in His loving eyes

We must live the way that God calls us to be

Then we can truly say, Lord, I like me

Just the way we are

Psalm 139:14 NIV

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
