I Think I Finally Love Myself

Some days
If I could give it all up, you know, I would
If I could trade pissing behind a rest stop in Kansas
In fear of the looks of road-tripping families and truckers
For a college degree and comfort in my assigned gender
You know that I would
You know that I would

No one really gets to choose the person they are
I did not get to choose how I was born
And I won't choose how I die

I will probably always live in doubt
For the remainder of my life
That the choices I am making just aren't right

But most days I feel stronger
And more beautiful all of the time
I am more confident and self aware
Than I have ever been in my life
And I am happy to be happy with all of my faults
I am content to be content with all of my flaws

No one really gets to choose the person they are
And I did not get to choose how I was born
But I can choose how I'm living

And I will probably always harbor some doubts
But mostly I feel fine
In fact, I feel fantastic
I am living with enthusiasm
Reckless abandon

I wouldn't trade my life with anyone
I wouldn't give this up for anything

I think I finally love myself
Nothing and no one can ever take that away from me
And I think I finally love myself
Nothing and no one can ever take that away from me
And I think I finally love myself
Nothing and no one can ever take that away from me
