Care About Image

You cared more 
About your image. 
Then about me.
When I went goth 
And changed.
You became embarrassed
To see around me. 
Cause you were more worried
About your image 
And how people
Would look at you. 
You tried to change me 
So I could fit into your image.
So you still could
Look good for your church.
Still.
And not be embarrassed
By me.
