Is there a way to change who you are from who you have become?
Can anyone really be different from the inside out?
Is it all pretense bundled in tightly held packages
Or
Can those packages be unwrapped to
Discover reflections
You once knew
When you were a child?
The short answer is, no. The long answer is a very long no.

Did you read this as a literally “you”…in that case then “no” is good. I had not thought about the poem in that light…so goes writing. It is how the reader interprets it.
So you understand my original reply to your thoughts – when writing this I had in mind more toward the “you” of which Jesus spoke…unless you become like little children you can not enter the Kingdom of God.
I was pondering that concept.

thanks for the read and comment. It’s nice to get feedback, opinions, thoughts, onions, tomatoes, and such things. I appreciate it. .
Hey, I’m in the middle of reading A Passing Shower and it is wonderful! Thank you much for the recommendation. I tired The Catch-22 but it wasn’t that appealing. Perhaps I will try again.

I do love the way this made me think. I hope for answer is yes if “you” is me, but I think I need an instruction manual to make it happen…!
