Change

-3-12-14- 

change is a challenging chore
I'm seeking for God's light to dawn upon me
chilled to the bone - I step on a black and white floor
I'm holding back tears that convince me that I'm a coward

I crave change in my life
bring back the light
do me a favor
give me one more chance
I need healing this night
I am kneeling in fright,
I wont start a fight
 I won't start a fight 
I won't start a fight

change is a challenging chore
I'm screaming for safety's sake
don't let me break
please don't let me break
my life's at stake... give me a break
save me from giving into lies
in my callous past
chained to this depression, I drag my feet more and more and more
Dragged face down on the filthy floor
my feet drip with poverty
why did I allow this in the first place?
how did this happen at such high degree?
or was it all my fault after all?
I must stand tall and I must stand tall and I must stand tall
I told my hands to rest for a moment
I put my head down hesitantly and slowly
blowing out the candles one by one
 one by one until it's pitch dark
the ebony crows CAW! CAW! CAW!
that's all I saw that's all I saw 
my flaw...and I fall in appall
 now I think change is needed
I accept the truth
I put my head down feeling the same shame without a name
my reputation is blown into smithereens
why must you intervene and spill the beans? ? ? 

I crave an end to this most shocking strife

change is a challenging chore, yes indeed it is
change is required of us
change is good for us
Change sometimes allows you to sacrifice something for it 
I'm sinking faster than the Titanic ship
I need to get a grip 
I need to get a grip 
I need to get a grip
before I slip on my face
like a worthless disgrace,
choking and throwing up regret
This hardship will pass
Cast out doubt 
Stop acting like an ass! 
Don't be a spoiled brat - you know what I'm talking about!
You're like a storm
That will pass and eventually transform into a sunny, gracious day
Deleting all dismay and I pray and welcoming change in each and every life

Take that for a change!~~~

You're agry but you kept your composure and went to write a poem. I agree with you that this is a good one. Well, great. Great because it deviates from the others in your list. It sounds more mature and it flows better.
