Accepted


Life isn’t black and white
There’s gray in film noir
And no thick lines to travel
Just fine ones like the edge of knives.

Im not perfect, no one is
So, I won’t say that I am
But sometimes, I love myself—
All the blurs and imperfections

Chorus
Take me away from
This unforgiving place.
All I want is to be accepted
By someone other than myself.
All I want is to be loved,
By someone else.

Bonnie and Clyde
Both misunderstood and misled.
Beauty broke the beast’s curse,
Even though he was at his worst.

So why can’t I, just be seen as I am
Freckles and scars
My mind my own
Living up to my faults but beautiful like comets and stars.

Chorus

Take me away

Chorus

I just want to be accepted—
Accepted as I am, inside and out
Don’t you want to be accepted?

Chorus

Chorus

Other than myself.
