change

Change is a good Thing
You told me that long ago
when I was just a little paper doll
You assumed the Role
of my mentor
my dictator
my fine, noble Sage

my rage
surprises you
you don't get
my blue hair
and black nails
my new look scares you

whatever happened to your precious Paper Doll?
You cut my heart out
Left me out in the rain
and the change you preached
has thrown you now

I'm sorry for not begging you back
I'm really truly sorry for turning my back
Forgive me for taking my mouth
and my body
out of the equation
Excuse the mess
I've reinvented myself

Change is a Good Thing
but I won't change my Mind.
