Stranger

by

Richard Betts Jr.

I am aware of my many quirks
That you may find quite strange.
But that is who I am.
Please don't ask me to change.

For if I abide your request
And my personality I alter,
Who have I become?
What if I regress and falter?

What if I am fortunate enough
To earn your love?
I fear you will not love me,
But the faker I have become.

If we were out with friends,
Enjoying the summer air,
Maybe I would become confused
And forget which face I am to wear.

No, I will not modify myself,
For I sense a tremendous danger.
The person that you've come to know
Will be nothing but a stranger.
