I have not changed since we were young.
We used to run, and laugh at life,
And all was fun.
Now I'm busy in a tizzy,
Trying to make my dreams work.
I don't have time to waste.
I must hurry, with haste.
For dreams are but a puff of smoke
And must be bottled,
For real I feel,
And have always felt,
Even when we laughed and had no worries,
Had no cares.
I have not changed like you think, you see.
A little bit more of me has broke loose,
Has come free.
nice verse. brings out the reality of life. like it. i invite you to read my poems.
No-one ever really changes, I believe we remain the same inside. We just mature and develop, and others start to see a different side to us. An interesting and thought-provoking write.
@Valerie Dohren Excellent point. I agree that we rarely change from the essence of who we are. If we don't perceive it early on, we often have the delightful experience of coming full circle. We look back and see the seeds of who we were, and finally come home, in understanding.
@Jenie Franksay I've been reading your poems Jenie, and added you to my fav poets list, lol.
Nice poem. Particularly I liked: 'I have not changed like you think, you see. A little bit more of me has broke loose, Has come free' - very well said! Thanks for the 'Poet's Notes'- 'people say you've changed when you no longer do things their way' - quite true!
@Heather Wilkins How true, as you said. Living takes care of robbing us of having no worries, having no cares... Thanks for visiting.
nice write about when we were young with no cares, life takes care of that. good read
A human is bred for change, will not exist without it, like it or not, we're evolution's twisted joke! !

I was touched by this beautiful poem Sandi, I have been told that a million times and every time they said that to me, I always laugh and tell them I have not changed, just got mature and a bit goal orientated. I wrote a poem titled I am me form such comments... In most cases when people say that to you its because they are jealous of what you have become... Keep on keeping on. Siya_! !
