Change the Same

Change is never the same
But to change is always the same
I've been down broken roads
Crossed corriod seas
Come to the end of my rope and turned around to make a knot to make sure it goes on
But the thoughts in my head seem so confusing 
The direction my life is leaning me towards
Is filled with so many questions 
A dream here and dream there and two kids to boot makes me believe life will always be the same
All you need Is love is claimed but to give your kids a chance to live makes a foundation shake
I've built no wealth no nest egg you see
All I get is cracked eggs and jaded edges that cut me down
I want my children to see I am not the failure the reflection sees
But the way Utah continues to grow the faster my pockets fill with lent and unclaimed dream particulars 
Is change an answer or is the same the best resolution 
So unsure so fearful
All I do is write letters to myself which I call poetic thoughts 
But there is no poetry in motion for me
Only clouded thoughts and insufficient means
Where is the solution in an endless sentence  I write about my life.
