A/N: Sorry to those people who read all my other stories, my life has been so chaotic the past few weeks and I'm behind on all of my writing and projects. This poem kind of lets you into what's going on I guess. I hope I can update as soon as possible, my computer is still broken. Enjoy my poem and please review your thoughts if you'd like.
"Life's Changes"
Some days I wish I could be a child again,
When the only drama was when I couldn't find my favorite stuffed animal,
Or when my parents would put me in a time out,
When I wanted to be a princess and have my prince charming,
At least I found my prince charming,
He's holding my world together as it falls apart at the seams,
The universe is changing as we know it,
For better or for worse… I don't know,
I miss those days when all I did was swing and think I could touch the sky,
When my dreams were never shot down,
When I wasn't judged for being different,
When my mom and dad could make everything better,
The world is harsh,
I realize this as I get older,
People always trying to tear other people down,
Poverty, prejudice, racism, and war,
Things I was ignorant of as a child,
I'm excited for a new part of my life,
Yet, I always look back on my childhood,
Wondering where it went,
When things suddenly got so complicated,
Why some friends aren't as close or friends at all,
I guess it's all a part of growing up,
You lose some things…
But you gain other things,
And these other things could be the key to your life. :)
