So What If I Am

So What If I Am

A Poem by Blake Q Hatfield
"

About how something can cause rifts in relationships of all kinds that shouldn't

"

So what if I am, what you say
Does it really matter any way
Does it changes things, does it make a difference
I haven't changed since yesterday
When you accepted me for who I am


Details are tricky things
Some are so small, but so important
Others so obvious but non-consequential
It's a matter of how you see the world
It's a matter how you want to perceive
And none of that matters so long as you're good to me
I wish you could see things like me
What made things change so fast
Why does it matter when things where so perfect yesterday


I don't understand the hurt and hate in this cruel world
It seems that people can't accept things so different
It seems that people want everything the same
What does it matter, the deviations makes things so interesting
And it should only matter that people are good and kind
And love and friendship remain blind and pure
I wish that could always be


So I am who I am, still me at core
Nothing's really changed, I've just grown and seen
Our big wide world and learn everything I could conceive
Trying to be good as I'm destined to be
Never trying to hurt or harm
Trying to find love and live, and be, and feel carefree
I'm no different than the day you met me
So I have to ask why you have ill will towards me
I guess at the core I've haven't changed
But you have become cruel and estranged
So what if I am, you're the one who has changed
