congratulations,
you are a
new.
improved.
soul.
who hides the same dilemmas
behind a mask of
clear skin.
smooth hair.
and toned stomach.
who may not lose weight
but will always count the calories
who won't hide for hours
but is "tired" when she needs to be
who learns to communicate
but never speaks unless prompted
and who studies the same sad songs
over and over
like scripture
just to spark the past's turmoil
congratulations,
you're happy now
because thats what you said you'd be
three months improved
yet you're still
just.
as.
lonely.
