Who are you lately?

by Megan Sue   Oct 6, 2008


I don't even know who are anymore.
You speak with such words that I don't understand.
I haven't spoken with you for awhile.
I haven't taken the time to just sit with you.

Why do you look so different.
What did you do to your hair.
I'm pretty sure you're faking that smile.
Why do you need to pretend.
That smile isn't helping anyone,
its only hurting others that want you to care.

Theres a dim twinkly in your eye,
that must've started going out a long time ago.
I guess I just didn't notice.

But why should I care.
You stuck MY memory up in a dark corner,
and pretended to be someone else,
to fit in with people,
that you have nothing in common with,
they just all happen to be trying to be,
one specific person,
whos not even that cool.
Just because everyone seems to be doing it,
doesn't mean its okay.

You could be the different one,
in fact, you are the different one.
Just light the candle and let it burn bright.
Let the stars reflect off your eyes,
so theres a twinkle there once again.

And be sure to know,
that you're done.
Your never going back,
to a game of Follow the Leader.
You ARE the leader,
and your following your own.

And right now,
all your going to do,
is wipe the tears from these eyes,
get up from THIS mirror,
and go jam out to your iPod, like you used to.
And I'm gonna scream out so the whole world can hear,
Heyy Baby. I'm back. !
