'Just Take Me As I Am' Poem by Linda Winchell

Don't need to psychoanalyze
don't need to patronize.
Don't need to look for the covert message
I'm just being me, is that such a big surprise?

Why do people want to analyze?
All of what I say and do?
Why can't they just accept who I am?
The person that they thought they knew?

They all think that they're Doctor Phill's!
asking all kinds of off the wall questions
when all they need is to let me be!
All I wanted from a friend in life
Is one that will Just let me, be me!

I'm not a crazy who needs to be put away!
I never killed or hurt anyone!
So what's the deal with all these questions asked?
Can't we just be friends?
and have some friend kind fun?

Maybe your too deep for me?
And your not the friend I need in life?
Your giving me a headache!
and causing me too much strife!

I think I'll just move on
If you really wouldn't mind?
I guess your not the friend I need in life
and just one of those analyzing kind!
