Change in Personality


“Change In Personality”

 

When you are young,

you believe life has just begun.

There are no challenges to face,

but at that moment you feel like you are in a race.

Growing up, you notice a fast pace.

 

The years go by and you are considered a little kid,

to only be frustrated when you do not fit in.

You create your own world in hopes to find desire,

though you fail as your sadness extinguishes your fire.

Your childhood seems to be on the wire.

 

Merely an eleven year old,

your life so far is portrayed as normal.

As for your age, you act too formal.

The stereotypical “little girl” is quite sad,

to be separated and pushed around makes her mad.

 

The people are too afraid to know what to say,

this “little girl” could explode at any time of day.

She is quiet and small, but she will get her way.

The others look at her with dismay.

With the anger inside her, she knows someone will pay.

 

As the years pass on,

she has grown so much.

Though the poor girl is cold to the touch,

remembering when she felt like she was in a hutch,

After all these years she still feels as such.

 

From being disgruntled and confined,

a few years later the girl is kind.

Acting gentle aids her to feel more aligned,

She now doesn’t seem to be locked in her own mind.

The girl is no longer blind.

 

Changing of emotions can cause such a mess,

by the end there are only things left to impress.

The girl has grown, to her own success.

There is no anger to address,

All the unwanted feelings are now compressed.

 

A change in personality,

The girl has learned her own vitality.

A blooming flower,

she realizes her power.

The girl is no longer a wallflower.
