I changed clothes
I changed colors
fawn to green to blue to red
to suit commercial interests
my image
kicks off celebrations
is ensconsed in tiny hearts…
while many dressed like me
are the soul of parties
I lie here alone
my spirit broken
after all that I give
and is given
in my name
Today, I heard a parent saying…
that I don’t exist
