Who I am

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
