Change,
Why do things have to change.
Before there was laughter,
Now there is tears.
Before there was happiness,
Now there is sadness and anger.
Before there was peace and teasing,
Now there is violence and hatred.
When will it end?
Wishing it would end now.
Hoping it wouldn’t go on forever.
Knowing it probably will?
Things just seem to keep on changing.
Hoping for the best,
Thinking for the worst.
But the changes seem to keep on
going deeper and deeper.
Before there was hope for the future,
Now there is nothing.
There are no smiles,
No laughter,
No happiness,
Or peace.
It is all but a memory.
Now there is pain,
Heartache,
Sadness,
Hatred,
and bloody tears.
Now change is all but a dream,
That may never come true.
The End
