since i am 7-teen and i feel infantile by Josefina Eggleton

Before i was myself i was myself 

Still i am myself 

Every second i am a different self 

Yet i am each self 

My selves wrap around each other 

Jackets on myself 

Jackets of myself 

Still i am myself 

One day i will die and split in two 

Perfect down the center 

And you will count me like a trees rings 

Youll find i am every me i ever was

Maybe youll try to peel the years back 

But they will stand like layers of stone

When im buried i will still be myself 

Every second still a different self 

My selves will slip off 

The earth on myself 

Myself will become the earth 

Still as the dirt 

I will be myself 

Every piece myself
