i am what i am

i know that some people do not feel comfortable with the way i conduct myself towards them.
overly-affectionate. ultra-sensitive. a combination of weird and unbecoming.

i say this.
i am what i am.

if you wish to accept me, i ask that you accept me whole-heartedly.
in all that i am, because i am what i am.

do not ask that i keep a part of me from manifesting when i am with you.
do not ask that i act, just so you can face others.
do not ask that i change, because it effects a barrage of unfortunate events, that lead to something you may not have wished for in the first place.

i know i should not impose my values on others, if i do not want them to do likewise to me.
i try.

but those few to whom i do whatever it is i do, it is only because i am overwhelmed by what my heart seems to feels for you.

i may not understand it,
but i am what i am.
