Really Me

By Mary E. Adair

My outline has changed
From day to day,
Occasionally in
A drastic way.

But down inside,
I stay the same -
Sometimes with a
Different name.

My heart, mind, and
Indeed - my soul -
As those three maintain,
My body grows old.

Wishes, desires, and
What else is needed
Get lost in the process
And go unheeded.

Yet, there I am
Within, hidden deep -
There's the real me
I shall keep.
