Hard Change

It is hard to accept
But it happens to us all
Time forces us to develop
Pulls us down to fall

Our whole lives we learn
We grow apart from the rest
We have to fight alone
This change; life`s test

It is hard to accept
It is hard to endure
It is heart breaking, breath taking
But it happens to us for sure

One day we are all young
The other we are all old
Our emotions storm
Our silence becomes gold

The merry-go-round we sit on
does not go on forever
We enjoy the ride for awhile
Up until life pulls that stop lever

As we get off the ride
We walk that dusty road
No one to hold our hand
Not to do as we are told

If we make that forever road
and cross to the other side
We are respected and accepted
If not, tossed away to survive

It is so very hard
to go on without a map
Lost and confused
I try to fill this empty gap

The gap of all this lonelines
I have realized I must overcome
No more taking advice from others
I must look at what I have done

I must listen to my heart
and accept the change which has come
I must fall over and over again
Until my body is numb

I must fight and fight
Think for myself just this one time
I must learn how to move along
Speak and not mime

Yes, tears will flow
Yes, i will want to give it all away
But in the end, I promise
I will surely want to stay

Yes, i will be alone
But i will only learn more
More about about myself
Emotions washed up on shore

I want to know all that i am
All that i want to be
And in the end
This change will never defeat me....

Only create me
