Take Me As I Am

I was cooking dinner last night and pandora was on turned to the Sugarland station. I wasn't paying much attention to it until one song came on. The song was Take Me As I Am by Sugarland. For those of you who don't know that song here are the lyrics. . .

The radiator says 95

But I ain't felt a drop of heat all night

here in this motel, there's no telling me nothing

I come here five nights a week

To clean the toilets and changes the sheets

My name's Maggie Durant, baby ain't that something

If you want it

Come and get it  If you want it, 

Come and get it but understand

You take me as I am

I know these corners, I know these streets

The curb-side Prophet there yelling at me

He can save my soul for a drink and a dollar

Yeah, he's yelling about my tattoos

But we all live with the scars we choose

They might hurt like hell, but they all make us stronger

If you want it

Come and get it

If you want it, come and get it but understand

You take me as I am

I'm slow to trust but I'm quick to love

I push too hard and I give too much

I ain't saying I'm perfect, but I promise I'm worth it

Now I'm standing here in front of you

Tell me boy, what are you gonna do?

'Cause my name's Maggie Durant, I said, ain't that something

Sometimes I feel that this way. That I am constantly being chastised about my tattoo, I am living with scars and it hurts, yet I know it's making me stronger. Also, I am very slow to trust, but I am quick to love. I push people hard and I give too much. I know I'm not perfect, I have plenty of faults, but all in all....I'm worth it.
