ROLE MODEL

               I am no role model
               A picnic, short of cake
               But He still chose me as I am
               He didn't want a fake
               For something in my make up
               Gave him a great idea
               Although I'm proud and selfish
               I speak, devoid of fear.

               So polishing this diamond
               That needed to be ground
               He used the bones of what was there
               Set free, the chains that bound
               So do not try to alter
               The person that you are
               He will use you, warts and all
               His grubby, damaged star.
