Nobody Perfect, Don't Expect It From Me

love me for who i am,
not for what i can do,
don't hate me because i'm different,
but, love me because i'm unique,
nobody can be perfect,
so don't expect me to be,
we all have our challenges in life,
mine are just a little different,
i'm the same in some ways,
i cry or laugh,
depending on the day,
i live life to the fullest,
even though i have to try,
twice as hard,
it gets tiring after a while,
but, it's something i have to do,
life wasn't meant to be easy,
but, some days i wish it was,
just love me for me,
i'm not perfect,
nobody can be,
so don't expect me to be.
