Some parts of me
Grow like a bush
But like every bush
In order to look good
Those parts need trimmingBecause
I can't forever be
An overgrown hedge.I feel unfulfilled
Like something isn't completed
But that may very well be
Because of the branches
That grow out of me
That need to be trimmedBecause
I can't afford to be
An overgrown hedge.I see certain changes
I feel growth in places
They're starting to show
But I can't let them show
So I cut while they're youngBecause
I just cannot be
An overgrown hedge.There are parts of me
That grow out of place
That take on new shapes
And ruin my faces
So I'll cut them offBecause
I don't want to be
An overgrown hedge.I can change on the inside
But I have face to save
I don't allow myself some things
In order to survive
At least I'm aliveBecause
I'm not allowed to be
An overgrown hedge.
