I know who I was when I woke up this morning, but I think I must have changed many times since then.<br /> If you don&#039;t know where your going, and road will get you there.<br /> Who in the world am I? Ah, that&#039;s the greatest puzzle<br /> ~Lewis Carroll~

The world will not change for me
As I have changed for it
And it will forever be
A place that cannot forget
Who I once was and who I am not
Or was I ever me?

The world will not let me be
As I have been for it
For who I am or see
In the mirror, for it doesn't fit
Into their likings and opinions
And walls they set for me

The world will not see me for me
As I have done for us
All those misunderstood
And all those the world mistreat
Do not judge them for what you see
Judge them for all they be
