Invent me

Erase me

My being

I no longer wish to be the girl with green eyes and a button nose

The girl with brown hair, she's medium height

She has a kind smile but it never seems to reach her eyes

That girl

It is my last wish

My only desire

For you to reinvent me

So that maybe my smile will reach my eyes

That maybe I will no longer just be that girl with green eyes and brown hair

I will just be me

I will just be happy

I can just live

This life of mine is far too tiring

It's exhausting

It's miserable

It's draining

I'm ragged

Run dry

Depleted

Empty

My eyes have become sunken in

Wrinkles form patterns across my face

Frown deeper than it used to be

Do you see why I ask this of you

To be reinvented

Invent me into something beautiful

Something far from this girl
