Pandora's BoxA Poem by TallulahAbout people and how they change tehmselves for others.You wish for a name For a personality For an idenity For an answer to the question; Of who you really are...
You wanted it to be given to you Because you're afraid That your choice Won't be widely accepted You wanted your identity HAnded to you In a wrapped box Tied with a bow For you to unwrap And discover who you are
How's that working for you? Falling instep beside them They think they can tell you Who you are They change your name Your favorite things Even how you walk... You know this isn't who you are
But everyone accepts this And now they accept you... You don't want to sacrifice your popularity But you don't want to pretend anymore...
But you wanted a name An identity A personality All given to you And you were handed A wrapped box Topped with a bow, An oppurtunity inside.
But you found That a box can't contain A name or identity And who you are Can't be determined By anyone but yourself And that sometimes Something given to you Isn't worth taking But rather, its better Left aside, in a corner Unopened Like Pandora's Box.
