Change
I have changed,
I am not even the same as the day I started this.
Some would say that change is normal,
Change is for the good.
I thought so too,
Or perhaps I just did not care.
Did not wish to see,
Keeping my eyes shaded to hide the truth.
Not watching the pain that I caused,
Not caring about the ones I used,
The hearts I broke.
Then she came back,
Forced me to see.
I hate myself,
Hate who I’ve become.
Trying to change again,
To make it right.
I want to be different,
But why?
What good will it do?
It will not win me anything,
Anything but hate.
Even if I try,
Is there to be anything worth this trial?
It’s so hard,
I’m trying,
But I don’t know why.
Life is change, and to change is to live… we only cease to change when we cease to live, and that’s one of those unalterable truths. Well written, my friend.

Instead of asking how it will make things better, try asking how the lack of change could harm you, and the countless others you are close to. . .

RYN: Heh about the mascot. 😉 And, you can find out what the laws are in your state (NC is a limited ship state) – that is, if you care. 🙂 But thanks for noting.
