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.
