I am who I am

 

Do not try to change me 

I am who I am

My ways are my own

I own them

I will not try to change you

You are who you are

Your ways are your own

You own them

Acceptance is hard

The lesson we share

If we cannot accept

We journey alone

We cannot expect change

Of ourselves or each other 

We are who we are

Our differences collide

Accept me as I am

I'll accept you the same

Teacher and student

We are to each other

We learn from our differences

And love from the rest

A friendship or relationship

We travel with insight

Put aside drama

Live and let live

Two beautiful people

With so much to give
