Love me for who I am
Or leave me for who I'm not
I do not intend to change
Myself for someone else

I'm so sorry if this means goodbye
But darling, it's for the best
Love me for who I am,
Or leave me for who I'm not

The author's comments:
This came from a self-reality check, if you want to call it that. I realized that I am who I am. Like it or leave it.

Reminds me a lot of a Bradley Hathaway poems. If you haven't read his work, it's amazing, look up Manly Man on Youtube by him. But anyways! This is a really edgy but piercingly sweet. Very nice. Keep writing!
