I'm not you anymore

I’ve changed.

I’m not who you expected me to be.

I’m not who you remember me to be.

I don’t know how to say it more bluntly than that.

 

Yes, I was like you, once.

The person who would stare at someone exactly like me

With judgemental eyes

I’m a hypocrite, I know.

I lie

I swear

I lose my temper (internally) with people who, really

Are doing a better job than I am.

I’m critical, impatient, not rude, but,

…self-centered? ….no.

It doesn’t matter.

The bottom line is, that day has finally come

When you’ve realized I’ve been a little two-faced

Been a little less Christian

Then I know I let on.

 

I do have regrets

(believe me, I live with them).

But it’s not as though I’ve become the devil.

So don’t look at me that way.

I still have my integrity.

I study for my classes.

I work extra to help out

I let others know how much

I completely adore them when they are nice.

I’m even nice when they don’t deserve it.

So don’t look at me with those accusing eyes.

I know Ive changed

But I’m not you anymore.
