You cannot ask someone to change
As a prerequisite to being with you
I have struggled a lifetime to change myself
With mixed success
Do you think I could change for you
Easier than for myself?
I am who I am.
With strengths and weaknesses.
I should try hard.
I can be motivated to be at my best.
I want that external motivation.
Someone urging me to improve myself,
Further my goals,
Succeed and prosper.
But that is encouragement,
Not requirement.
I will either change
Or I wont.
Ill do the best I can
No more.
Love me for who I am now
Or dont love me at all.

Hear no evil, dont you see no evil
Don't you lay no evil down on me
Speak no evil, don't you think no evil
Don't you play with evil 'cause i'm free

After endless nightmares she lies weeping in her bed
A blade in her hand, her nightdress is turning red
Her skin becomes paler in this cold and stormy night
This is the end of all her painful dreams of suicide

We all go through the same amount of pain just in different ways!

Nobody was really surprised when it happened, not really, not on the subconscious level where savage things grow.

If you dont have the key. please dont pick my heart
you are amazing
I find the comments people gave you here interesting...many of the say don't change. you will cange. change is life is change, and you have changed even in the time since you wrote this poem. I hardly know you, but I know you have changed between than and now.
but you make very clear here that you know what changes you need to make and you know who needs to be in charge of that change.
who you are now includes who you were and who you are becoming, tho, so loving you for who you are now does not mean wanting you not to change...only not wanting to change you, or make you change.
I hope you never lose the wonderful vision and perspective you have, and your skill with words
