Forced Into Change

Sometimes changes are forced on us By the environment, By our parents, siblings, neighbors, By our co-workers, friends, boss, By God. We go into them kicking and bucking. Wailing and screaming. Our shrieks are deafening. To us, but no one else notices. Because we do it silently. Socialized, so they will not know how Sad and angry we are now, and it is their fault. It is not our plan. Our reluctance is pouring out of our pores. We hope they choke in it. We pout a bit. No one cares. Finally settling down, sometimes Often we see it is the best for us too. Better than we had before the change was forced on us. Happier now, Forced to have something better That we did not know we wanted.
