Apprehension

by Jenna Bella Oldridge   May 10, 2011


You are changing
You are changing
You're my stranger now
You use to be so familiar
I use to know you somehow
But your cold and you're distant
You're just a shell
And I use to know you
I use to know you so well
Whatever happened
What did you become
Once so full of feeling now you're
Just numb
And I ask who are you
Who is this man in front of me
What happened to him
Why can't he see
See he is changing
Changing beyond comprehension
He is my stranger and
I meet him with apprehension

    I know that feeling. Sometimes there are unexpected things that will overcome us, for better or worst. People think they've changed, but beneath layers lies the one we use to know.

    Great poem. Thank you.

    This would be a good song, Jen...I understand this feeling of how someone can make you feel you never knew him at all and how life can feel like a bloody nightmare when that happens.

    Well done,

    5/5 Ingrid

    I feel the big rhyme at the end was too much, the words comprehension and apprehension were too long and the other rhymes were simple [ shell & well ] whereas this one was more complex. If you get what I'm saying. I did feel like this was a vent, but it did flow fast because it was a bunch of thoughts and questions crammed together. I'm sure you could do better, but for the emotional side and being able to relate I definitely enjoyed it for that.
