Shades of Me

Deep in the depths of my thoughts

I can be sweet and happy and stress-free but I

See the lines on the faces to

Create a new visage I don't

Have

I tell myself to make a metamorphosis

Butterfly wings

Monarch of the art

Falling into a natural equilibrium

I can't.

It's my nature.

Do I accept off-beat melodies

For shadows of possibilities?

Someday the light will

Reflect a kaleidoscope of

The shades of me,

Maybe,

All the shades of me.
