Today I felt tears in my eyes, they were there
form many reasons. I felt the impact of many
things, people mostly.
I felt their meanness I let go so many times
many times before. It just built up so much
I had to let it out.
People nag at me, because I am me, not just
what they want me to be.
It is not me to change from something I am
to something I am not.
So you have to take me for what I am or take
me not at all.
You have to know me before you even try
to change me.
Then you may see that you don't want to
change me after all.
Take the time to get to know me, for I am
me.
