Changes

(A Poem by: Mary Gayle Johnson)

(Copyright: April 29, 2002)

 

 

Who am I, what do you see?

I'm a person, why can't you try to love me

Love me for who I am, not what I've become

To be shunned and ignored might be okay for some.

 

I'm still the same person I was years ago

There's just some things about me that you need to know.

I can't keep this buried, deep down inside

I've spent too much of my life trying my best to hide.

 

Some people may have noticed, it's really hard to say

Some may even stop and stare or just look the other way.

Why does it matter to them how I choose to live my life

It's not like I'll ever end up with their wife.

 

All I want from anyone is for them to understand

Not everyone is perfect, not one upon this land.

So try to show me a little love before our lives are done

When it comes right down to it, "Mom, I'm still your son."
