They said, “Don’t Let Anyone Change You”,
I’m sure you feel the same way too.
The perception of having people accept you for who you are and not the ideal of what they want you to be,
Is something in the end we know changes and sooner or later we eventually see.
We don’t see these changes till the very end,
Until the final mark has been made.
But through it all we evolve into a whole new person,
And the old perception of how we used to be slowly fades.
We evolve into someone greater and stronger,
More careful and alert.
The things we want in life and what we want to surround ourselves with,
Are pieces of information we program in our minds to insert.
No regrets of any kind,
Through the choices made in my past.
All the ups and downs life has handed to me,
Feels like a broken leg in a cast.
Can’t make a slight movement or a tiny breath,
That’s how I feel.
Everything then seems to be refreshed,
Once every wounds finally heal.
But it’s the risk that I’ve taken,
That has made my life worth living for.
The love I’ve given and the happiness I’ve received,
Are bits of pieces of memories in my heart that I store.
Because in the end,
I realize the trials and tribulations only benefit me.
To help me become the person I want,
Or maybe the person I was really meant to be.
