Who I Am Hates Who I've Been

by Gem   Apr 25, 2007


Looking at photo's of my former self
The long straight hair and kohl eyes
Dressed in black from head to toe
Hair filled with different colour dyes

Still brimming with awkward teenage curves
The rebellious stance as clear as day
Full of hopes and fears and dreams
Running the race of life's relay

Looking at the changes in the mirror
The teenage edges have all been smoothed
The hair is glossy, a deep brunette
The make-up's been toned down and moved

The girl staring back has changed so much
All her hopes and fears have changed
She's settled herself for an average life
Everything's been rearranged

Look between the mirror and photograph
The difference between us is clearly seen
Who I was hates who I am
And I am hates who I've been

    I dunno why I haven`t read this one before. You did an amazing job on this, as always. This title was one that I tried for and I couldn`t get anything out of it, but you did a wonderful job on it. At first, I didn`t know how you were going to tie the title in, but you did it and I was taken aback. An amazing ending, great job.
