Perfect Emergency - 01/13/08

You can shut the door
That you came through before
Your time has been spent
It came and it went

I will not be
One of your casualties
I refuse to be
Who you want to see

You thought you could change me
You thought I'd be perfect
How can I make you see
It just isn't worth it
I know what you want
I know who I'll be
You're making it harder
The perfect emergency

I like who I am
And I'll do what I can
But I'll never promise
To be the person that you miss

-----
What it's about; I despise having people try to change me. I know who I am and I refuse to change for anyone else. If someone doesn't like me, that's their choice, and it makes no difference to me. I'll try to be civil, but I will not change myself for anyone else. I am me, take it or leave it.
Other notes; This one was also originally written to be a song, a sort of punk anthem, but I like it in poem form.
