It feels strange,

To see photos of me as a kid

With messy hair and mix-match clothes,

Not a care in the world

with that toothy grin.


Oh, how I wish I could go back

Back in time and do it once more.


Because now

my days are in front of a mirror.

Hair perfect, make-up on, matching clothes, 

and a smile that seems foreign to me. 


I do it to please the people around me,

Little me would hate how we become,

I know she would.


Because I do.


Oh, what I would do 

To stop her from becoming me.
