You Can Change Your Name, But You Can'T Change Your Mind Poem by Amanda Saveley

You Can Change Your Name, But You Can'T Change Your Mind



I left home
My choice, but the manner was not select
Goodbyes to friends, family, streets, buildings
All familiar...then
I changed my room,
Cut and died my hair
Switched gears, got a car, learned to drive right
Traded friends
Severed ties, making new
Gained weight,
Started college...
Nothing's the same.



And I hate it.
