Metamorphosis 

changing shape 

shifting faces 

absorbing new personalities 

collecting trends 

constantly evolving 

dissolving into everything 

fitting into patterns 

until I camouflaged into every crowd 


I let them crawl into my head

influence and project 

deconstruct and rewrite 

destroy and manipulate 

every little facet 

of my identity 

so many times 

I had forgotten 

who I really was 

or who I wanted to be 


I kept changing 

but they never did 

I did everything 

to make them love me 

and ended up alone 

hating myself 

for what I had become 

a thousand vapid illusions 

messily mashed together 

incoherent and dejected 


The older I get 

the more I begin to resemble 

my child self 

authentic, honest, shameless 

purely me 

untouched and unbothered 

a complete reversal 

into finally accepting 

who I was all along 

the one I was always meant to be
