Repeat Wild/Rethink Normal

12/21/21

Oh God please,
don’t stay the same
(keep me) without the blame.
Repeat me.
Change my hair,
without your stare.
Don’t Rethink me.
Lose the weight,
without an anchor
flanking from eyes.
Some replaced trait
baited rancor
behind those lies.
Repeat me.
It’s guys, not girls.
Don’t Rethink me.
The way I walk,
the way I talk —
it’s happening right now,
give up the gawk.
Repeat me.
My smile has dimples,
limp, no’re pimples
Oh God,
How I’ve Changed.
Don’t Rethink me.
Repeat me.
Repeat me.
Repeat me.



But you say it’s how we’re made,
functioned to omit change.
Don’t rethink me.
If the friends are friends,
they’ll stay the same.
Always here and back again.
Don’t Repeat me.
Cause no matter the pain,
an anchor on your brain,
carry a head full of hair
full of shame —
if you are still you
you’ll always be changed.
Don’t Repeat me.
The lies they tell,
fell between your thighs,
but just like their lies —
it’s none of their business!
Like acne of a child-
Like “Goddammit you're fired!”
To the traits we’ve desired,
we’ve all been changed
From normal,
to wild.
So don’t rethink me,
don’t repeat me,
when you see me,
just see me.

The change is all the same.
