You say you are always changing
but you are just staying the same
radically the same
a disguised same
distracting yourself
from something
something like difficult feelings
with superficial changes
and flights of fancy
that you call freedom
but,
you are like a kite
on a million strings
trying to be a free spirit
you keep telling the same stories
over and over again
the same story about yourself
as if it were a little white lie
you were desperately
trying to convince
me
and you
of
and all the rest is a coverup
as if you won't let the water settle
long enough to see your own reflection
in case you see a tear in your eye
that you will never be able to wipe away
