Why Can't You Accept Me

All I need is declared acceptance 

I feel in order to make you happy I continually need to repent 

Be as I wish, as I may 

How I choose to live

Self respect, honesty, independence 

What I was taught 

Which is what I exercise- so why the need to constantly fight 

Perhaps you can shed some light 

Damed if you do 

Damed if you don't 

Maybe it's time to work on yourself 

I'm happy, healthy and content 

I wish you could see that 

It's pretty translucent 

Please don't refuse it
