Be As You Are



Be as you are.
Imperfectly flawed and blemished.
Blessed to be given life to live.
Be as you are.
Never to regret it.

Nothing duplicated is created by God.
The sum total of displayed diverse faces.
As witnessed observed,
In an array of different places.

Be as you are.
Let your worries and concerns you may have,
Be that of others on their shoulders to bear.
Consciously to carry.
Done to allow themselves to put there.

While defending to fiction,
What God has made to create....
Has been designed and intended,
In Gods mind with time given to implement...
To replace them.

As if diversity meant,
Would be a better reflection of greatness...
If generically everything,
Went through a gentrification!

And then who would aspire,
To become better as they are to inspire...
Other human beings,
To live their lives achieving the same thing!
