Change is not for everyone

You can dye your hair,

And alter your appearance.

Change your surroundings,

Change your style.

But deep inside, 

You are still the same.

The same person you were before,

The same person you will always be,

And hiding it does not fix anything. 

You can lie to yourself all you want,

But you will never be different.

You are never going to change,

Because you are not committed to it.

You don’t try hard enough,

To be the person that you aspire to be, 

The person that you claim to be.

It's just a mask,

A mask of who you are,

And you hide your true self from everyone,

Because you are afraid of change,

Or because you don’t care enough to change.

You may be on cloud 9 now,

But when you come back down,

Nothing has changed.

That’s the problem, 

But you don’t see it.

    It saved my life.
    The one thing you can always count on.
    It will be there no matter what,
    Waiting for you to pick up the headphones,
    And plug them in.
    Take a listen to someone else’s life,
    Someone else’s struggles.
