Nothing Changes Poem by EMMA Funnell

I thought I could change my life,
But I feel like I’m turning into my mum.
I never wanted to do that,
How could I be so dumb?
I wanted to prove that I could be someone,
Instead I proved everyone right.
I will always be the same no matter how hard I try,
Change is causing to much of a fight.
Everyone told me nothing changes,
I thought this was very wrong.
But I now see they were telling me the truth,
It didn’t take me too long.
I now realise I will forever be in pain,
I still wish I was never born.
It’s a shame I can’t end my life,
For eternity I will always mourn.
Nothing changes and I get that now,
For change seems forbidden in my heart.
In a dark place alone is where I’ll stay,
My loved ones and I will surely depart.
I now know that nothing changes,
So it’s time again to run away.
What’s the point in staying if I can’t change?
I will go and carry on leading myself a stray.
