Change
"Change yourself," they say
Change the way you smile
Change the way you talk
Change the way you eat
Change the way you look
Change the way you live
Just change everything about you
But why?
Why do I need to change?
What does it do for me?
Should I stop smiling?
Should I stop talking?
Should I stop eating?
Should I mark up my body to fit your style?
SHOULD I STOP LIVING?
Why do you hate what is different so much?
Why do you fight for change at the wrong time for the wrong reason?
WHY DO YOU CHANGE SO MUCH?
Why won't you answer me?
Why won't you look at me?
Am I that disgusting to you?
What is so wrong
why...
Why...
WHy.......
WHY..............................
WHY....WHY....WHY....
WHY...............................................
STOP!!!!!
I give up
This is too much
I feel so overwhelmed by your change
So why don't I make your dreams come true
I will change
I will stop smiling
I will stop talking
I will stop eating
I will mark up my body to fit you change
I will stop breathing!
Are you happy now?
ARE YOU HAPPY THAT YOU HAVE ROBBED ME OF THE VERY THING THAT MADE ME WHOLE?
Of course. You are!
I kiss the world farewell, to emerg anew
But first,
Do you at least have anything to say?
Yes
YEs
YES
what is it you have to say
"CHANGE," they screamed.
Yeah, sure
CHANGE!!!!
