Change
Change,
A place like a forest
Individuals
growing
conflicting
being
When I close my eyes
You and our experiences
fly away
A new beginning
arises
Only glimpses left behind
of this phase
Like pieces of
sunlight
shining behind the crowded
leaves
Change,
A place like the sea
Individuals
shifting to and fro
like waves
controlled by our many moons
controlled by you, me, them, us
But it is our minds that have
true power
When I close my eyes
I ask you to stay the same with me
Life has kept us here for just a few years
But now it is urging us to move forward
away from this simple point
in time
Change,
A place like home
Individuals
living
amongst
each other
Succeeding and failing
in an echoing pattern
When I close my eyes,
I watch you fall
and rise back up
with all your might
A repeating message
for me to do the same
Rise
Fall
Rise
But the stress I’m under
can make this hard
So all I’ve done is
Fall and stay there
Failure
Change,
It’s a person like me
you, me, them, us
Attempting to rise up
Together
