Dear Friend - Accept Me

Do not try to change yourself into who you are not just to please someone. 

Great, long-lasting friendships are built based on total acceptance of each other.

Be yourself be who you are.


Dear friend

Accept me the way I am

Do not try to change me

Accept me the way I am

This is who I will always be

Dear friend

I cannot change 

Just for you

I cannot change 

According to your whims and fancies

I cannot change

Into what you want me to be

Dear friend

Do you not understand

I can never betray my true self

Do you not understand

I can never be anyone but myself

Dear friend

Accept me the way I am

Do not try to change me

Accept me the way I am

Then and only then

We can be true friends

Accept me
