Don't Understand....Just Accept

For so long I yearned just for the people I called my friends to understand me.
For so long I so willingly assigned the title "friend" to people I did not need to let in.

The truth is, no one really gets in though.
I keep it all hidden.
Some call it self defense, some call it issues, some call it mere privacy. 

I just call it "me".  I'm just me.
If you were meant to get in...you will obtain access.

But for so long I wanted to be understood. 
I don't need understanding.
I just need you to accept.

Just accept me for me and appreciate me from my flaws to my talents.
That's all I could ever ask.

And well, if you don't want to just blindly accept me...
Please just walk away and don't try so hard to hold onto me... don't try to "figure me out" and tell me to change or tell me I have issues.

Just accept. Then we can get to connecting...

But those of you who get me and accept...me and you....we can get to bonding.
