Constantly Changing

by tami   Jul 28, 2007


It always seems that I'm not good enough, I'm constently being changed.
I feel like a computer being reprogrammed perpetually.
For awhile they're content, but a minute later the crowds bored and throwing rotten fruit at me again.
For some reason I seem to think that if I keep changing, they'll love me, and eventually the change will stop.
I'm an item in a store, if I'm not good enough they'll just leave me behind.
So hear I lie to scared to stand up to scared to be left behind.
They say change is a good thing, of that I'm not so sure, but it is the only way they'll love me.

    Change is good, as long as what you change into is still recognisable. If you aspire to be somebody else, then what happens when the mask comes away, who will you be then? We shouldnt feel like we have to change for other people, to fit in. I really liked the similies and metaphors you used, they were brilliant! As Kurt Cobain said "id rather be hated for who i am, than loved for who i am not."

    take care.
