Changing Us

All my friends
are changing
their appearance
in the hopes
that they can
show
how much they've
changed
inside.

All my friends
are twisting
in a tide of their own
creation
and all I can do
is watch,
dry on land.

None of my friends
knew
that I don't
need
to cut my hair,
write new words,
that I'm still
changed
anyway.

None of my friends
knew
about you.

I'm going to ask you about

I'm going to ask you about this during English.
I'm writing it on my hand right now.

Lovely poem, by the way.

I guess we're changing how we look
to show that we're not the same people we were.
Maybe we're just sick of who we used to be.
I don't know.
I can only speak for myself.
