Who I Am

Take me

Leave me

But take me for who I am

Do not try to change me

As I will not

I will be not what you want

Nor will I be at your command

Hurt me

And break my heart

And I will hurt the Pride you have

Pride is how I stand tall

How I carry on

How I am what I am

This something you will never be

I do not need to improve myself

But you do

As acceptance is needed

You do not feel liked the way you are

I fit in the world

Perfectly

With all my baggage I carry

Because of this...

...I am who I am!
