Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

ME, MYSELF, AND LOVELY I

What if I were gothic at age 47?
What would I look like to others?
Shall I paint all of myself in black
Perhaps putting on glimpses of red?

What if I were an emo at age 47?
What would I convey to others?
Shall I cut my hair and style it so,
Or keep it long covering my face?

What if I were a punker at age 47?
How would I appear to others?
Shall I paint my hair blue or green
And spike it so tight it can’t move?

What if I am just plain normal?
At age 47, nothing fancy or cool
Just chillin’ in old school style
And be me, myself, and lovely I.
