You can only be what you’re not for so long

before the who that you are

sneaks up on you

creeps up on you

and demands to be known by you

once again

and for good.

 

it’s a funny thing,

 

when people say, “you’ve changed.”

 

changed?
or changed back?

changed?
or revealed?

is growth good if you grow in “right” directions for wrong reasons?
is growth bad
if you grow mad
at someone else’s moral treason?

 

who is the who that you are?
are you true to that you?
am I?

am I?
