I like long sleeves
with big warm hoodies and
my jeans too big. I like yoga
pants with tennis shoes.

If I got rid of my hoodies
and tennis shoes and traded
them for dresses and heels,
wouldn’t I still be me?

If I stopped being
adventurous and stayed
in and play video games,
wouldn’t I still be me?

What if I didn’t like
animals or playing in
the rain,
wouldn’t I still be me?

What would happen
if I stopped caring
for others or helping
them when they need
it?

If I stopped being
antisocial and talked
to others more often,
wouldn’t I still be me?

What if I lived in a
bigger town,
wouldn’t I still be me?

But if I joined any
athletic sports,
wouldn’t I still be me?

If I stopped being so
honest and helpful and
stopped following the
rules,
wouldn’t I still be me?

What if I felt a
bit happier when
I look around?

Would I still be me?
