Leave Me Be
November 26, 2018
Leave me be
Just let me be myself for once
Why can't I just be who I am inside
Instead of what you want me to become?
You can be you
I'm fine with that
I didn't care in the first place
But leave me be
I want to be myself
I just need you to understand
That I'm not changing for anyone
If you won't accept me for me
Then just leave me be
