I swapped intellect for art,
knowledge for passion,
and money for happiness.
I cut my hair,
went brown, blonde,
ginger.
I traded trainers for Docs
and became a cliche.
I went back to trainers
and joined a gym.
Too skinny, too fat,
too in-between.
I went green with envy,
then green in diet.
Kale, avocado,
pressed smoothies –
the organic stuff.
I binged and dyed my hair.
Contemplated pinks, purples,
Blue.
I changed my shoes again.
