We're like seasons with the way we change our colors

You can change

a million ways

and still be the same.

I still roam my streets

in soaking lights

in the middle of the night,

still drown my name

in alcohol flavored dreams,

still cloud my voice

in wisps of smoke.

I have changed

in a thousand ways

yet I stay the same.

Mirrored back as I walk past

people I used to be

places I used to go,

staring back and calling-.

To the people who say;

"I feel like

I'm just staring at my changes"-

like you don't become them,

like the sound of your heartbeat

is far away,

as if you're watching yourself

become someone else,

but never quite moving-

You could move a hundred miles

and still feel the same

still hear your blood

echo through drums

feel your bones

crack through wood.

You can change

a million ways

and still be the same.

You can change your hair,

and your clothes,

you can trade yourself

for someone else

and still have your soles,

still walk your roads.

You are as much a change

as you want to be,

mean to be.

You are the same soul

day in,

day out.
