I want to change
I swear I do
But it can't
Be a condition
Set on a timeline
Cause I thought
You fell in love with me
For who I am
Not knowing who I'd become

I wear goofy
Cause sad isn't in style
And I may not be a comedian
But I'm worth your while
I have memorized
Too many dad jokes
To not make you smile
And when the fun is over
I'll go back to the gloom
Till I can be the idiot
Who lights up a room

Kalliope

One of nine Muses
"Beautiful voice"
The patron
Of poetry
And heroic song
Homer's inspiration
Never forget who you are

I keep trying
To convince myself
That I don't care
Then I catch myself
Thinking about
The fact that you
Are not holding my hand
Not laughing at my jokes
Not enjoying my flowers
So I'll keep trying
To convince myself
That I don't care

"I'm trying to be like you."
I didn't know
How to respond
So the first thing
That flew out of
My stupid mouth was
"You've got a long way to fall."

Saw an old friend today
He looks so
Happy.

An old friend saw me today
I looked so
Different.

Sitting in the corners
Of restaurants
Looking over my back
In grocery stores
Leaving my door cracked
In my bedroom
Expecting you to appear
And wound me again
