The Imposter

I'm not myself when I take my medicines

three times a day, seven days a week

I swallow my pill-shaped personality

and it turns me into a lively, kind and content creature

a girl softer to handle, warmer to kiss

so no one wanted to listen when I bawled

about how much I've came to loathe her

because it's easier to love the imposter

when you've seen what hides beneath

and everybody likes her better

than they would ever like me.
