Love Me or Leave Me
Love me or Leave Me:
My skin may not be flawless,
There may be circles under these eyes,
My hair is mine regardless,
I have cellulite on my thighs,
I don't wake each day to be perfect,
At the best I am okay,
But you rather love me,
Or you leave,
That's about all I have to say,
I suffer from depression,
If you walked my trail you'd know,
That when I am quiet,
I am angry,
Cause if I said a word,
Then I would blow,
I have anxiety that's deeply,
Please don't mistake it,
For just fear,
Because if I could,
Then I would shake it,
But this is greater then may appear.
I may not wake each day to be perfect,
But at the best I am okay,
But decide,
You rather love me,
Or you simply walk away,
I am not competing for affection,
I've got to here,
Just as I am,
Yes I have a few small problems,
But underneath I'm still a gem,
So you take me,
Or you leave me,
You rather love me,
Or you don't,
But don't think that I will beg you,
Cause my dear I simply won't.
