I still remember A long ago time When we had something special, When you were once mine. But you changed into something That wasn't really you You let corrupt companions Wrongly influence you. And, little by little, You drifted away 'Til now, unrecognizable, You've arrived at today. Completely forsaking 'To thine own self be true' Are you ever uncomfortable? Do you miss the real you? Can you sense that you detoured From what's right and true? Are there ever things You wish you could undo? I refuse to believe You're content to remain The distorted imitation That you became. The corrupt companions Have since gone elsewhere. But you still hide behind That grotesque mask you wear. (c) Practicing Poetess poetry All rights reserved
