Not

When did it change
When did it start
When did my image 
Become more important than my heart

When did it flurry
When did it snow
When did my hair color
Become something to show

When did makeup cover my face
And clothing was needed to feel put in place

When did my image 
Change for another’s thought
When did I become 
Someone I’m not.
