Time changes things and takes away everything from its purest form I don't want to lose or release things I want to hold on to so many events I wish I could control If time could last a little longer every moment of pleasure more vast and whole not fleeting and times of distress and suffering perhaps wouldn't seem to go on with an indefinite hopelessness I especially don't like change in the world around me I will be glad to evolve I'm often forced to in order to adapt to the changes outside of myself within the world around me I adapt because I accept change but I don't like it I don't like when friendships break apart or when people die I don't like to see people age physically losing their strength and independence mentally adapting and swallowing pride something they must do daily Sometimes I don't even like to be an adult looking back upon the destroyed innocence of my childhood the world revealing truths no child should know beaten senseless by reality at times I wished I didn't have to grow up and realize how change is the catalyst to the pain I would suffer in time

Beautiful xxxxx
Thank you so much
Very, very powerful! You are doing the right thing by writing about it. It does help!
Thank you, this is one of my most blatantly honest and personal poems, and yes it felt good to articulate it :)
Nice full circle–ending and beginning with time. You have a way of weaving words together–like knitting them almost, without being verbose. :)
Thank you so much, that’s a great compliment :)
very powerful indeed! i know how you feel about how times robs our family of their youth and strength, that’s what hurts me the most. even seeing this elderly man i stay with go down hill and get to where he just sits in the house all day or he fears the bathtub cause he’s fell before. Charron’s Chatter is right you ahve a way of weaving words…you are a ‘wordsmith’ i think it’s a real word if not that’s still what you are!
Wow, I’ve been called a wordsmith by sammiwitch before, and I loved it, an amazing compliment. Thank you! This poem was intense for me because I wrote it as I was feeling kind of mournful as a result of the changes that occur through time, and the desire we have to keep some things the same a while longer. Then of course all the rest of it, such as watching people age, strong, smart people, who at some point can no longer take care of themselves, and have so much pride to swallow every day. I’ll shut up before I write another poem about it ;) Thanks!
It’s one of my favorites so far!

My brain shivered with that part…
Thank you, thanks for citing me, that’s very flattering. And this may have been the first time I’ve ever made someone’s brain shiver, so that’s cool :)
=)
Wow, that was very powerful and beautifully stated.
Thank you so much :)
:)
Beautiful and so very true!
Thank you, I appreciate that :)
Very beautiful and powerful.
Thank you Becca :)
Very very well written… :-)
Thanks so much!
That’s sad… losing your childhood is one of the saddest things.
Yes it is, yet in one way or another, we all do, thank you for commenting :)
