A time for change

by Masked metaphor   Dec 31, 2014


A year is almost complete...
1 year
12 months
52 weeks
365 days
8 760 hours
525 600 minutes
31 536 000 seconds.

A time to remember...
The loved ones we lost,
And the loved ones we gained.
The friends of old,
And the friends brand new that we have made.

A time to reflect...
On all the achievements,
All those times we regret and wish we could of made different.

A time to witness new experiences...
Like the first operation or surgery,
Or a new workplace.

A time to laugh...
At all the funny times.
At all the funny jokes exchanged.
At all the silly things you did.

A time to cry...
Over all those mistakes.
At all the heartbreak we felt along the way.

A time to create new resolutions...
To better the person you are.
To find your true self,
or to value every moment in your life.

A time to challenge yourself...
to make the new year,
just that little bit more special.
To go out of your comfort zone,
and to truly express
who you are.

    A very refreshing read. The opening stanza is very gripping and then the rest of the piece follows suit. Written well.

    I hope you get to truly express who you are in 2015 as you state within the bottom stanza.

    Strong poem as always and I always one we can all take into account. I always enjoy reading your work as you know.

    Keep it up, hopefully you'll post some new stuff soon.

    An excellent write with a perfect title 'a time for change'

    A time to challenge yourself.....
    to make the new year,
    just that little bit more special.
    To go out of your comfort zone,
    and to truly express
    who you are.

    To expand and exert more than the previous one

    To better the person you are.
    To find your true self,
    or to value every moment in your life.

    Thoroughly enjoyed :)

    I am so glad you came back strong with this poem, such a powerful piece that is so true for this time of year. I love how you broke down each emotion and gave them a voice so to speak. It is interesting that we are full of regrets each time of year and we shed tears for it, but we also have memories that impact us whether they be good or bad. We can definitely push ourselves out of our comfort zone if we tried and each year people say they will but fall back into that zone. I love this for it's great wordplay and message, each person can relate to this, but also interpret it in their own way.

    Nominated, 5/5
