Do I need to be someone from your imagination for you to find me attractive?
Do I need to be the perfect personality to earn your trust?

I don’t think I should need to change for anyone.
True love comes to you just as you are.
You never truly accept anyone if you expect them to be someone else.

When you grow to love me you should want me to be the best that I can.
But that shouldn’t be a criterion for your standard of me.

Take a person as they are,
Help them to be what you know they can be,
And maybe you will find something even greater than you imagined.

What I should be

A masterpeice in it's own right.
If a person can't except u as is then they don't luv u.
So many people out there seem to think it's their job to change a person. My last ex finally gave up on turning into the person he thopught I should be. He finally gave up and realized I was gonna be me if it hairlips the devil and it usually does.
Good work. Stand your ground!
luv, huggs, smiles,
emy

You shouldn't have to change at all.. If someone loves you for you, that is the one for you. If you change your really not in love, just something from a story..any way a real good write here. Thanks for sharing your work with us..
Take care.. be yourself..ok

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
