Please Don’t Judge Me

Please don’t judge me
Because I don’t look like you
Please don’t judge me
Because I don’t dress like you
Please don’t judge me
Because I don’t learn like you
I want to look like a princess
I want to act like an actress
I want to learn like a scholar
But that is not me
I am the person
God wants me to be
Like me for my heart
Like me for my helpfulness
Like me for my kindness
But most importantly
I want you to see
I am so blessed
That God created me
