change

We change our appearance

because we want to change what's inside,

we want the mess to be fixed,

we want it to be alright.


But no haircut,

or even lipstick

will defeat our demons

and stop making us sick.


Yet still we try

to take the easy way out,

but in reality

we could have the best appearance

and still feel left out.


Because the monsters in my head

don't seem to be getting out,

and I might be going crazy

but I'm starting to settle down.
