metamorphosis

i thought i was different.

than how i am.

than from them.

no. i thought i was the same.

for a while. for too long.

i thought i would be different. as i got older.

clarity. none. i thought i would be different.

how to be yourself. when you dont know.

i thought i could change. the only constant.

i did. still, i feel the same.

i thought i could be different. further from everyone.

tied together, against my best wishes.

perhaps just my wishes.

i thought i would be different. i will someday.

fields in my mind palace. acres of shift. i thought i would be different.

i wish i was different. i guess.

no. i know. i want to be myself.

a different self. my summer self. in an irrevocable condition.

myself. changed.

i thought i wanted to be different. i still do. time to time.
