What do you think this poem is about?

Acceptance

God in His infinite wisdom
Did not make me very wise-
So when my actions are stupid
They hardly take God by surprise

    We crave for acceptance by others
    We can be accepted if we be ourselves
    Not who they want us to be
    We should be accepted
    As us, not them
