Why try to change me?
I don't understand
When you met me I already was who I am
You liked me for me then
So what's wrong with me now?
If you want to change me
You can try
But all I'll do is ask you why
Just don't like me if you don't
Don't try to change me cuz I won't
Be someone I'm not, even for you
Not for anyone will I be untrue
To myself.

i know i have felt this way with so many people in my life, and often it can hurt when its the people we feel we needed to be accepted by the most. i have to say that i have been guilty, and changed in so many people for the one i lvoe, but stick to how you feel, your right!

I can truly relate to this piece.

 Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.

Very well done, Rachel. I, too, can relate to this as I'm sure most people can! I enjoyed this one!
