Take me as I am scars and all
My wicked sense of humor
Try to help me up when I fall
Even when in a drunken stupor

Enjoy all my little quirks
From breaking apart some tunes
To my incessant need to buy books
As well as my thrill and love of being tattooed

Let me vent, scream or cry
Knowing there's no need for a cure
Never needing to ask why
Or making me feel secure

Just enjoy me it is all I can ask
Don't try and mold me
Or make me part of a task
Then maybe you'll really see

My mind can be narrow
I'm not perfect by any means
I can be selfish and shallow
But my life is not as it seems

My tattoos, quirks, book, my mind,
And let's not forget my scarred heart
Take me as the project you did find
Just don't try to pull me apart

Once you break me it might be for good
The torment might be too much to stand
I might not fit together as neatly as I should
I wouldn't be fixed with the touch of your hand

So take me as I am don't try to adjust me
I am as fragile as I've ever been and my wall is high
I don't think you can truly ever really see
What makes my heart break and my soul sigh
