You Wouldn't Even Recognize Me Now

You wouldn't even recognize me now

      Karyn Indursky
 

You wouldn't even know me if you saw me.
You'd just see who I use to be.
You'd see me as passive, isolated, depressed.
You'd see me as the girl you laughed at.
You'd see me as the girl who had too much time for school.
You'd see me as the girl who walked around town just to walk.
You'd see me as the girl who sat at the computer for hours.
You'd see me as the girl who hung on the phone.
You'd see me as the girl who didn't speak her mind.
You'd see me as the girl who hid behind her glasses and books.
You'd see me as the girl who relied on her family.
You'd see me as the girl who didn't express herself.
You'd see me as the girl with a heavy heart and mind.
You'd see me as the girl without direction.
You'd see me for how I was and not how I've changed.
You'd see me for some of what I am, but mostly I've changed.
You wouldn't even recognize me now.
