Skin I’m In

As I look in the mirror

Everything becomes clearer

I look as far as my eyes can see

I know what’s meant to be

The crown of my head

To the soles of my feet

Is where God and I meet

Faith eases the pain

It takes away the strain

I take things in stride

My gratitude I can’t hide

I embrace every journey

Knowing it’s meant for me only

Society I ignore

Cause God fills me to the core

I was made in the imagine of God

I offer Him a wink and nod

He fills my soul

He makes me whole

He helps me win

I’m proud of the skin I’m in

I reject old ways

I cherish all my days

Naysayers say what they will

But God gives me a thrill

I rest in my zone

I have standards of my own

My beauty is something to behold

My story will be told

God didn’t make a mistake

He knows what I can take

I carry life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

I’m in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

I stand on solid ground

I share the joy I found

God helps me win

I’m proud of the skin I’m in
