People say I’m changing
trying to hide who I am
Materialistic
Superficial
Slipping into dresses
instead of mini skirts
Wearing brand name polo’s
to replace band tees
But I’m still me
My IPod is full of heavy metal
cranked up
I still play paintball
every Sunday
Now my neck is draped
with pearls and gold
My hair is done up
in curls and pins
I’m the prep with a wild side
I know how to act
I know what to say
My eyes betray me
burning like blue fire
I’m good at wearing this suit
but that’s all it is
I’ll stay true to who I am
head held high
I won’t back down
from being who I am
