It’s OK To Be Me

I am a man with a kind heart, a gentle spirit
and a tremendous capacity for love
and I give myself and of myself to others in all these ways.

I am a man with a heart that needs kindness,
gentleness of spirit and much love
and I open myself to receive these from others.

I am a man who has been hurt and has hurt others
and in my guilt and shame, my anger at myself and others
the keys to forgiveness and healing were buried.

The keys are back in the hands of the real me.

I am a man whose journey of true healing, personal dignity
and self acceptance and the acceptance of me by others
begin anew today.
