Take Me As I Am

Take me as I am

take me as i am

im not special

just me

just a woman

walking my own path

looking for missing pieces of my soul

i am not perfect

i am a person of faults

i write in the darkness

for fear you will see me

and not really know me

i cry in the rain

for the shame of tears

i cannot let you see

i smile in the summer sun

it warms me

as the breeze caresses me

i scream my frustration in the storm

that way no one knows my pain

i play in the puddles

as a child seeking enjoyment

through the dark and light

in the sun and storms

please take me as i am

a child a girl a woman

seeking fulfillment

seeking a place of my own

as a daughter, mother and wife

i have been lost in a title

drop the title and see me

see the woman standing in the shadows

I seek the light of your love
