Poem Title:
Poem
You told me all I need is change But..what if if I don’t want to be altered? And what if I’m the one thing that doesn’t need to change? maybe it’s the world that needs to stop It’s spinning around too fast Shaking everything up And it’s hard to see where to go Dust has clouded my sky Everthing I knew is gone Vanished at the slightest tip of the scales Who or what caused it? ..I may never learn But the world as I knew it Is Different It has all been modified So maybe I don’t need to change. Maybe the world just needs to stand still for a moment And remember the way things used to be Instead of defining how things should be. I am sick of the accusations That keep coming my way Yes I know I seem stuck in wishful thinking That all I do is dwell on the past But what else do I have? The past is what makes me It shapes my very being So what else do I have ?? Friends? family? no… Those bridges set fire And were left charred beyond recognition Mutilated memories of laughter and smiles Tainted by mistakes and distrust All I have left is myself. The only thing I have left is Me So I ask you..do you think it is fair of you to even suggest that I change? How can you even justify what you’ve said? And why on earth would I want to change the only constant I’ve ever had? I’ve stayed true to myself When no one else would…. Ahh….I suppose what I am really trying to say is That I will change myself when and however I want. But I will not do it because of what someone else thinks is right for me I will be Me. Not that person everyone is imagining I could be Because I will never be that person.
