YOU’RE NOT THAT PERSON ANYMORE

You’ve been robbed

And left to deal with it

There isn’t a vestige of who you were

Your yesterdays are a cobweb of blur

The person who sang simple songs in his head

Is now a thousand dreams and sins ahead

You’re not that person anymore

That person is certainly dead.

You’ve been compromised

And told to be normal

There isn’t a line you haven’t crossed

Or a promise you’ve not taken and tossed

The person whose tears cleansed the rain

And whose smile melted away the pain

You’re not that person anymore

That person won’t return again.

You’ve been shot

And asked to live with it

There isn’t a day you’ve pushed Mediocre

Or gone out of the way to figure what broke her

The person whose love was stronger than conviction

And whose judgement was the strongest validation

You’re not that person anymore

That person is now pure fiction.
