YOU


You.
You change your hair--
Your make up
Your friends
Your clothes
Your dreams
Your self identity new and improved
Your walk
Your talk
Your diet
Your books
Your music
Your accessories
You.
You change everything
That can be examined and dissected
By the curious stalking eye
But
You--
My friend, me sweet loving
Fragile friend
Can't change your heart
Your scares
Your lies
Your truths
Your reason for a pulse
Your mistakes
Your defects
Your reasons that make you beautiful
You.
You can try to paint the picture
Of perhaps what you
Have convinced yourself
Of what tangible thing
Will make you happy
Will make you beautiful
Will make you alive
But
You
Still feel the same
Defeated
Lost
And
Starved.
For all, that you want and wish
Is stuck under it all
And you keep the pile
Going higher and higher
Until
You
Make believe your on top of the world
But
You
Know it to be true
What really
You
Have to do.
