-change- Poem by Javarrien Donald

Everyday I wake up and I ask myself why am I alone,
then it hits me, the flashbacks of all the things I did wrong.

At that time, I guess that I just couldn't see,
then I glance in the mirror and realize it's just me.

All the things I said but did not do,
alot of false words, but my heart stayed true.

I thought more sexually, than I did with my heart,
and thats one of the main reasons that tore us apart.

I regret the day that I first told you a lie,
I remember the feeling, deep down i wanted to cry.

And now I look in the mirror and depressions on my face,
then my heart starts to beat at a slow and slower pace.

I thought it awkward and even sometimes strange,
but now that i've matured, I see it's just time for a change.

And now it's clear to me why things turned out this way,
it was just me being me again, it was me being DUMB OL JAY.
