Know

you don't know me

and you never will

unless you stop looking at me

and only seeing me the way

you visualize me

in your narrow mind

 

you can't force on me

the "me" you want me to be

if you do

i will disappoint you

for the real me

is like nothing you know

 

why can't i be enough

just as i am

why can't you understand

why can't you see me

how can you know

the real me

if you refuse to see anything

that wasn't your ideal

 

So until you finally choose

to see the person I really am

I will leave you in your own denial

and not return til you truly understand
