Different but the Same
Overtime- you’ll believe things change but don’t be disappointed when things are still the same
One day we wake up ready to own the day- others we feel gray and pull covers over our heads to hide away.
You can day dream of all the things that you look forward to attain- one wrong move can take that all away.
You’ll look in the mirror, see physical change. Wrinkles with age, hair changes day by day but deep in your eyes- you are still the same.
Eager to be independent in the world, “I’m a grown ass woman - not no little girl” but at night you still cry for your mother's pearls.
If we run to far away from ourselves. Chasing for love, looking for wealth. How to find oneself.
When you walk out the shower and look in the mirror. What do you see? Not your soul- let's be clear here.
The children we were, lie deep within. Hidden by “problems” that we put ourselves in. Sometimes there something that give them a glimpse.
Are we all just trying to impress our inner child? Look what I do know - I’m pretty wild “Damn, I grew up so cool, so much style”.
And later in the day, we’ll be full of disappointment, “I’m not good enough- this shit is pointless. I could be better, more flamboyant”
We can chase ourselves in circles trying to be the best. Changing ourselves to be different from the rest.
But all in all- we never change. That child inside still feels the same.
We may try and be different but in the end -none of that is significant..
