something

i cant change what i dont understand
someone said that to me once
the last time this happened

but theyre wrong
bc i dont understand myself
but i can change

into someone funnier
into someone prettier
into someone who's less clingy
who's less attached

into someone you can look at
and claim as your own without shame
into someone ppl see and want
into someone thats just something

into someone who cries more
into someone who talks less
into someone who turns their head
and ignores their paranoia

i dont know a thing about myself
but i know so much about you

so let me twist and contort my face
into one you love
