You can't change me

April 28, 2023
By Anonymous

My name is this and this 

I like this and that 

I do that and this 

And well that is that 


hold up. 

 


I might be exactly like some

I might be different than others 

I might be seen as a brother 

Or just someone that brings trouble

I’ve never been the favorite

Of my aunts or uncles

Because I’ve always said things

That made them uncomfortable 

My grandpa isn’t around 

But my grandma is 

My cousins are very loud 

So I don’t really fit in 

I do not follow the crowd

So I don’t have their respect


so what?

 

So if you despise me 

Here is my advisory 

Go ahead and just write me 

A letter describing 

How much you dislike me 

Write down my mistakes 

But I won’t try to change

Because whoever I am is whoever I’ll be…

I wouldn't change who I was. I was a very stubborn dude. I would reject advice from others because I thought I was right (I wasn't).
