Can I just be ME?

Can I just be me even when you don’t see me?

Can I just be me no matter what I hear about you? 

Can I just be me even if your life doesn't interest me? 

Can I just be me no matter what l believe about you?

Can I just be me even if I can do nothing for you?

Can I just be me no matter what you think of me?

Can I just be me even if I look different compared to you? 

Can I just be me no matter how I sound to you?

Can I just be me even if you’re making fun of me?

Can I just be me no matter how you feel about you?

Can I just be me even when I don’t fit your idea of me?

Can I just be me if I let you be you without changing me?
