Transformation


Misunderstood

That's what I am

Everyone has such high expectations

No one understands that I'm not perfect

That I'm not going to do everything right

That I am not invincible

That I have fears

That I cry just as much as I laugh

WHY?

WHY am I so misunderstood?

I'm the puzzle that's never going to be fixed

I'm the perfect clue to the unsolved mystery

Misunderstood

But choosing to accept this is not an option

Transformation

I want more,

need more,

crave more

Im in a caterpillar cycle trying to transform

I want to be the 2.0 I know I can be

No longer silly childhood names

or irresponsible actions,but regular ole me

But will it hurt the one's I love the most

If the memories from the past is no longer there

Is my wrong's my right or,

My right's my wrong
