Acceptance
By rondant
Accept me for who I am
Not who I should be
Not for who I was
And not for who I could be
I am just a person
And your command I might obey
If you would just accept me
For the way I am today
A person is a person
And does not have a special mold
And will not always turn out
Just how they are told
If I were exactly
What you wanted me to be
Who else would accept it
Because I would not be me
How can I be myself
When I'm being something I'm not
If I am someone else
Myself would be forgot
