#18 Envy
I change myself
To be you.
I need to be you:
eloquent in verse,
naturally beautiful,
vain to an extreme,
young and green as new roots.
I change myself
To fit in.
I need to fit in:
exaggerate my fables,
niche clothes to hide my style,
vivacious and loud,
youth ad infinitum despite creaky joints.
I change myself
To be loved.
I need to be loved:
elegant, exquisite, elusive,
naive, noble nymph,
verbose, vivacious, violet hue,
youthful and yielding.
I change myself
to the point
that I don’t know who I am
anymore.
