I’m not me, but I am Abbigayle Sevening How is it that I am not me? My head has stopped turning when my name is called As if I don’t even recognize that name anymore Who have I become? I saw my reflection in the car window My beautiful long hair, gone My glasses, gone When did it become my normal to be different? When did I change? I don’t remember making all these changes Little by little I did something And now, it’s all different It’s not me But it is I’ve never been more confident Never been more happy Never been more me But this is not me This is a new me But who am I? I used to have answers Now I don’t It’s at the tip of my tongue I can feel it But I still don’t know When did all of this happen? 21
