Where I Belong

When ever I am advised 
that I 'should update my life',
or repent of my past - the better
to absorb the latest version of virtue -
I don't know how to respond.

I know my past, it's rights and wrongs,
and what of it that I should not repeat
-most of my childhood/being parented
the conditions of which I am now glad
were unique to those times anyway. 

So why should I change what I say 
about myself and my past, when change
becomes one cheap lie after another
to fit around the latest in consumerism

I am who I am whether I want to lump it,
like it, or live in a past where I know I belong.
