For You

I change my patterns
I fit my square life in your round expectations
trying to hide the gaps of where I miss the mark
Every jagged edge 
Every scar
A reminder of how hard I tried to mold myself
into your cookie cutter definitions
I used to live for you
I can't do that anymore 
Now I live 

                               for me
