You just can’t simply change people the way they are.

I am what I am

Ever since my life began

Under the rain and under the sun

I am what I am

Whatever it takes

Not for anybody’s sake

I am what I am

And I do not pretend

Because I am a man

I am what I am

It will be until the end

I hope you’ll understand

I am what I am

Over and over again

I am what I am

Take me as I am

Love me for what I am

If you can’t let me be

Just set me free.

    That is right… But does love really change people’s lives?

    YES,SOMETIMES, I GUESS, BUT IN THE LONG RUN….,THE REAL PERSON INSIDE HIM/HER WILL SURFACE.

    very good poem, it is sad that people want to change the people they are involved with, i believe true love is acceptance without ridicule.
