Me

The form you see
the eyes, the nose, the breast, the teeth
may not be what you like
eyes too dark, nose too big, breast not perky, teeth not white
the form you see is it me
is there not more to me
than just the form you see
maybe that is all of me
just the form that you see
why try to change keep changing
the form that you see
bigger breast, whiter teeth, slender figure
if there was more to me
than why oh why try to change the form you see?
