You're like a completely different person
You're just like it
I know you're not
Despite the splash of colors onto your hair
In time they'll mix up and go back to the same beautiful black
It was and still is under the brightness
I don't find okay
Despite the ink that fills the surface of your skin
If you sweat enough from running from me it'll all wash away
And go back to the same beautiful color-drained
It was and still is under the darkness
I don't find okay
Despite the carelessness you say
And the irresponsibility you do
Despite all of it underneath you are
Completely unchanged
Just thickly covered
I mean if you're covered then you're changed but what the hell there's math 53 and I can't get myself to concentrate

Re-reading this today (03/27/15) and gah, diction, gah.
