Change Poem by Joe Hadley

I know it’s hard to tell,
How mixed up you feel.
Hoping what you need is behind the door.
Each time you hurt,
I don’t want you to change.
You’re human after all.
Wishing you was someone else.
Feeling as though, you never belong.
This feeling is not sadness, nor joy.
I understand, please don’t cry.
Please don’t go, don’t leave here.
I don’t want you to hate.
For all the hurt you have taken.
The world is just an illusion,
Trying to change who you are,
Being you is something else.
This is something else.
Who would comprehend?
For those who declare divine purpose.
For those who have bonded their souls to the afterlife.
I know to us the world is different.
As we are to the world.
But you don’t realize this.
I don’t want you to suffer from this illusion
Please don’t go I want you to stay.
I don’t want you to change.
This world is just an illusion.
Trying to change you.
