Knock Knock
Has it always been about me
and my urge to set myself free
so that I might become like you
and do the things that you do
or that foreverlong question
which hat do I really look best in
or why am I stuck in this body
so wrinkled, lumpy and tawdry.
So I wonder who should I ask
as my mind isn’t up to the task
of figuring out what life is about
whispering words that echo a shout
Hooray for the you, hooray for the me
I wonder - today - which one shall I be.
