A chapter in the book National Poetry Month

Myself, I Plan to Remain

by dejohnsrld (Debbie)

Myself, I Plan to Remain
 
What gives you the right to
tell me who I should be?
True love would celebrate
 individuality.
 
If you’re seeking someone
perfect you best beware,
such human beings just
don’t exist anywhere.
 
Looking in the mirror
all that you’ll likely see
yourself deluded, a
perfection want-a-be.
 
If I am not what
you are searching for,
release me and feel free
to walk through that open door.
 
I’ll not be offended,
it is not my nature.
I would prefer finding
a lover, more mature.
 
So tired of conflict
filling my memories,
yearn acceptance of my
idiosyncrasies.
 
I don’t desire to change
not just to please you
take me the way I am or
realize we are through
 
A life spent searching for
your view of perfection
will result in a life
of lonely rejection.
