Amour-propre

Standing still, you nod your head avoiding stares
Slowly your eyes closed, frowning pretending not to care
You were offered the best but you chose the not so good chocolate chip
Hoping you'll get people's approval by doing so and be called hip

I want you to know that your ideas are gold
I want you to realize that your thoughts must be told
God gave you a special gift
A life full of adventures and not guilt

For God so loved the world that he gave his only son
It pains him to see you're not wearing your crown
You belittle your own soul but let me remind you... You're not a droll
God designed you to stand out and not to pass out

Remember to value your own passion and art
Being yourself is being more than smart
Not everyone has the courage to speak up and follow their heart
Taking off the self pity hat would be a good start

Start to see yourself as God sees you
Loving yourself glorifies him and people will see him in you
Respect the nature of your unique way of thinking
Neglect your God given value and you will be like a ship slowly sinking.
