The Nebraskan
If I grew my hair to my knees and dyed it to the color of the wind, would you still recognize him
If I pealed away at my fingers to make them look thinner, would you still be able to remember them
If I never walked into the sun again and took an eraser to my skin, just to be a bit lighter, would that be enough to disguise him
What if I even change the way I speak, a whole octive higher or perhaps lower, would his voice still be familiar
What if I make myself shorter or taller, with reconstructive surgery, do you think then you can be fooled by him
But what if
I break my nose and reshape it
Take my lips and deflate them
Gouge my eyes to replace them
Would that make a difference
What if I told you that you never had to see him again, that he can be different, he can be better, he could be anything
Would you believe in him
No...
But thanks for trying
When she just does not want to try anymore.
You'll always be great she says, but you made a mistake.
