I looked in the mirror
I wasn't there
I spent so long
Trying to be someone
Trying to be yours
Now I am
I changed my clothes
I changed my mind
I used to have a view worth defending
Now I passively smile
Where I used to fight for a cause
But now you hold my hand
And kiss my vacant lips
I know I should be happy
But something is missing...
...Me
You were supposed to fall in love with me...
...as I am

holy... . . . it feels so inadequate to say I relate hugely to this piece, down to the depths of what I used to be. I'm struggling to find myself again, and to not apologize for doing so, and this one... yeah. an explosion of regret is hidden in these words.
