Change

Just a spoken word piece that I wanted to perform..

 

Change

Palms sweaty,

Heart heavy,

Tryna walk away,

From this strange day,

See when I said we needed a change, I thought I knew,

That change was the best thing for us to do,

But little did I know, that I’d soon find out,

That change should’ve been the last thing to leave my mouth,

Cause, ever since I’d said it, that’s all things, had ever done,

You went to being zero from being the one,

Girlfriends all ready to admire my ring,

Because nobody ever heard of a damn four year fling,

 

See, I knew something was wrong, and I just asked you to make a few changes,

Cause the strangeness,

Of the arrangement,

We were tryna arrange meant,

That you,

Weren’t required to be there when I needed you,

And you,

Dent have to call if you dent want to,

Cause

I was too busy tryna maintain,

This strange, change

That had occurred before I’d even asked for it

Acknowledged it, forget it,

Suggested it, regretted it,

Requested it, suppressed it,

Kissed it, then missed it,

Talked wit it, then walked wit it,

S**t!

 

I hadn't even realized I dent have to ask for a change,

Cause you had already became,

A face with no name,

See I must’ve been deranged, insane,

To think I could maintain,

Being emotionally estranged,

From this man who once referred to me as his main,

Folks I hadn’t even realized in this change, I had lost me,

And for that plain change, I’m so sorry,

Cause me not putting up with him trying to do his best,

Turned into a change I never will forget,

See things were hard and my time I wouldn’t invest,

Even though people warned that more is sometimes less,

And me not putting up with him calling me from work,

Changed but into something much worst,

 

So now here I am, watching the cell in my hand,

Listening for the ringtone set for my man,

Awaiting patiently, for the appearance of the contact name,

Cause I don’t know who to expect…

HUBBY or CHANGE!

That was really awesome! Sounded like a rap, if anything. I really liked it.
