Change

By Shane

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I know the words to everyone’s song Who isn’t me I shed my skin to change I lost my friends, but they’re the same I can’t deal with change I thought I’d paint my insides A midnight passion blue So the sky reflects the feeling that’s me And what I’m going through Only a man can he change Loosened my grip on you So I could feel myself again My words are now true So tell me as I try again, tell this reborn man Change in all of us is inevitable Follow me into the centre of the sun We’ll drown ourselves in alcohol Not even that pain can stop our fun I’ll change this time Time defines the time we change in Shot in my foot today I need to take precautions If I’m to change this way And I know, what I know is not enough Change me girl, God change me I turned my back on me I have stepped out of the shade I’m burnt now but I don’t care A changed man I am free Written March 25th, 2002 © on Mar 24 2002 11:51 PM PST   10 • 0
