The man I'm not can't compare to the one I am

I'll never be perfect I've accepted that
medical issues abound and I am a tad too fat
my smile isn't photoshopped or plastic
but it still makes me feel fantastic
I'll never be immune to shame sadly
sometimes I do mess up pretty badly
I do mispeak and say things that are wrong
but I'm still in love with this song
sometimes my manners fail me
but in the end my demons cannot avail me
because I have found, to my surprise
the beautiful man who has survived the lies
and self doubt and destruction
only to rise without hesitation or compunction
again and again despite my many falls
the man I am has overcome his walls.
