To Know Me

To know me, know that my name is mine.
accept me as I am, please be kind.
Don't try to change, my way of thinking.
who I love, or anything linking.
Don't rant and rave, or yell at me.
I used to sit on papaw's knee.
I used to go with daddy to fish.
Seeing Grandma and Papaws my only wish.
But don't change my name, or love me less.
I don't need the added stress.
I'am somebody, I'm Christopher.
I want things back, the way they were.
