Change

Change They say it’s inevitable That it happens to everyone We all grow up and evolve But when I see you I still think of those afternoons Playing and dancing Just laughing and joking Without a care in the world You look like the same person And if I wanted to I could fool myself into believing you are But you’re not Life’s sharp razors Have cut your smooth edges The seemingly endless supply Of ideas that spewed from your mind Blocked by self-doubt And the world’s harsh judgment Your light and airy skip Replaced by slow steps Burdened by the drudgery of daily life The sound of laughter from your mouth Muted by bitter complaints Who are you? Who am I? Change They say its up to me
