The New Us!

Revenge it is not,

irritation no reason for, 

not what it looks like,

just a simple tiredness you can call it.

We are not desperate,

though we may look it.

We are not non-adjusting,

though our face might show it.

Sometimes, 

you just get tired 

of being that same old story

that just doesn't change!

The same old face

that just always seems the same!

The same dress 

whose colours never change!

So in our quest 

to be someone else, 

we forget one thing...

We can change the outside,

we can turn from jeans to cheerleaders' skirts,

from T-shirts to tank tops, 

from Nike shoes to jimmy choos

and someday, we will change who we are from the inside.

It is said you cannot change who you are.

Is that so?

I don't think so...

If it were,

how could what we wear

make us feel different every time we changed a dress?

How could a skirt make us feel pretty and jean sporty?

How could earings make us feel girly and arm band athletic?

How could saris make us feel graceful and gown English?

Who we are on the outside 

will one day change who we are on the inside.

We want to break rules,

turn 18 and start drinking,

be someone else?

Be!

But remember!

Whatever you pretend to be,

one day,

you will be.

So break the rules and be who you want to be,

but O'fellow life finder,

choose who you would wish to be!

What you do today

will affect your tomorrow

Who you pretend to be today

you will be tomorrow.

So just think before acting,

what you are pretending to be,

do you really want that tomorrow...?
