Dear Change,

 

Don't you know how bittersweet it is, to have you come and go in my life?

One moment you come and bring promising news, promising outcomes.

Then in another, you leave me in shock and crippled.

 

I never get to sit down and understand you.

We always go down this road, the road that leads me to a dead end and you are gone.

Why do we do this to each other?

 

We talk about what we could be together, about how you can help me grow.

You give me moments of growth, you lead me to the way of progress.

You open my eyes, my mind, and my heart to new views in this world.

 

Then you leave. You leave me with your problems, your horrible truths of reality.

But why? Why do you leave when things are going just fine?

You know I’m not strong enough. You know I can’t handle it all on my own.

 

You know this and decide to do nothing.

But, no matter how much I try to change or try to understand you

You never seem to listen.

 

You decide to keep coming at me, to keep in your old ways.

But there’s something you don’t know.

While you stay stuck, I keep moving.

 

You may be a part of my life that I can never get rid of.

You may stick with me and keep appearing like a bruise.

But you soon become nothing more than a sore I can deal with.

 

I’m not saying you need to be gone forever, you have helped me grow.

But, you needn’t be another voice in my head.

Change, we may never be one with each other, but we can never also be apart.
