change is bad she said
why is that I asked
it means leaving behind
walking away from this
She feels leaving behind
all that is so dear now
is what moving on is
and so change is bad
I have seen too many
change was my normal
through all this I learned
nothing is left behind
you may try to forget
maybe even succeed
at least for a while
but never gone away
those that love us
are not temporary
they will still be there
no matter how far it is
change is not a bad thing
just a new place to be
we remain who we are
unless we become a lie
stay true to the you
that you feel inside
and the love will remain
friends don't run away
Change is the only constant. We can escape from it even if we want to. We prefer to resist change but never really succeed.
ReplyDeleteChange is inescapable, what matters is how we respond to it. Unforttunately it isnt always easy to repond in a constructive way.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you make a narrative out of this poem. We follow it like the beginning of a good novel. It would make a good beginning of a novel. Yes, many novels have these themes. Yes, life is full of these themes. What you do it bring us closer to it and allow us to think about how each nuance affects us in the here and now. There is an intimacy in this poem that cannot be denied.
