Change

Someone tells you change not because you are not good But because you do not act the way they think you should Neither is it because they don’t think you’re not bad It is just a reaction when they are either mad or sad A special person in your life ask you to make some change However uniqueness allows someone to remain the same You are special, in your own right, just the way you are Singing out of tune and rhythm while driving in your car Change however may not be bad in the pursuit of perfection Sadly that journey isn’t easy and takes much introspection What are the things you desire, and where do you want to be Will these things make you truly happy, or only temporarily Are these things that you can’t live without in the long run Or temptations of the flesh, that only provide a quick fun One asks, what does it matter only the test of time will tell Should I place a Pascal wager to avoid what they call hell The very thought of that seems a vain attempt at very best However when the time comes will I did my very own test Change, Aristotle, said was the only thing that doesn’t change Clever word circles like these though do very little to explain Indeed his idea was much more complex than I’ve stated But, then again most people would say that he’s outdated To change definitely one of the most difficult things to do It something that you must really desire, this much is true By Wayland Bunch 2/14/2013
