~Interchangeable~

I thought
you'd be
older, but
then again,
maturity is
just experience
wrapped in
wrinkles

trying not
to camouflage
good qualities
trying to
take a
beat, take
a breath

treading water
at this
tremulous and
turbulent pool
but I don't
know how
to swim
there is
some element
of risk
living your
dreams

but I
won't be
afraid of
change, I
want to
hear every
interchangeable  melody

pulling myself
from the
shadows to let
thing's shine
you can't
demand change
you have
to inspire
it
