Life Changes

Has it really been fifteen years
since I first took little steps onto Marley.
Her grey appearance that welcomes all while reflecting
the fluorescent lights above.
I know some people see me as a successful human being,
And thank you, but I just want you all to know that I just keep believing.
My childhood was the same but also different,
I was born in two halves: Red and Gold
Our colors mixed in the wind of our laughter
our tears
our screams
our shared stories
Colors flew when we hurled words at each other
like vocally loaded bullets
Recently, I was lucky enough to experience a moment of epiphany that changed the way I viewed my life
This year was one
That I wish I didn't have to endure
Pelting on me like hail from
An angry sky
Problems entered my life
Left and right
But I can’t say that I haven’t learned
Fear, something everything is born with
It can’t be washed away or forgotten
Whether it be a child’s fear of monsters in the dark
Does life change,
Will I feel different,
Are the colors still the same,
And the world still go 'round.
Small changes come between each birthday,
I'm shell of a man I used to be
No doubt unless you can see
How the angels laugh at me
Kneel down I feel so empty
How the hell you still standing
On your feet, god damn laughing
Things come and go,
We sit and stare out the window.
Thinking what we’ll miss,
And would it be different if we hadn’t kiss.
One day there, here, and the next gone,
Before I sleep the thoughts of life play in my head
The past, the present, the future
The words left unsaid
I contemplate life
What it offers
And what it gives
I seek for comfort in its passion
