If I Was Different

Would you like me better if I was different? If I could change myself?

If I was different would you care?
If I could be like everyone else,
Would you be here instead of there?
If I could change myself
I would be prettier, like you,
And have fun like everyone,
Maybe I would be nicer, too.

If I was different would you care?
Would you actually miss me,
Or would you rather my presence stay rare?
If you could change who I was,
How different would I be?
Would you put me on pause?
And make it so perfection was all you could see?

If I was still the same,
Would you like me for who I am?
Could you say my name,
Like you actually gave a damn?
Or would you be long gone,
Leaving me in the dust,
A broken toy meant to rust?

This is beautifully eloquently melancholy-ly splendidly marvelously magically tragically elegantly simply wonderful.

Great point, very poignant, well written, and unique.

I especially liked the repeating questions. It helped the flow and made it more heartfelt.

Why is your writing so good? It's unfair and makes me jealous. :) Share.

That was not a suggestion, it was a command. :p

100/100
