No Longer The Same

7/18/11

"What's gotten into you?"

You're no longer the 

Same girl you use to be,

You now hold your head up high

And you speak your mind,

Why are you no longer the same?

I like the old you

That did stuff to satisfy everyone else's needs

You did it without question, 

I don't like the new you,

Because you're no longer the same

And I can't control everything you do...

Author's Note

Inspired by the book My Life As A Doormat in the perspective of the boyfriend who doesn't like the changes his girlfriend endures. Honest reviews.

Good form, structure and well written, but it seemed to lack the 'umph' some of your other work does. That indefinable something that set's your work apart from the norm. If I could put my finger on what it was I would tell you, but you definatley have it

[Daytonight]

I really like this poem. It was well written and spoke volumes. Keep on penning.

[Jeremy Baker]

To thine own self be true! More power to you, Ta'Shandra!

[Dark Angel ~]

Power to that girl!! Stand for yourself!!! >:D

[Brittni]

I really like this because it can go a numbers of ways that brought about the girlfriends change. Was it maybe he himself who changed her? But a great read, short but powerful.

[Raven Starhawk]

So very true! You cannot control what others say or do. They act according to their will and at times that can me heartbreaking.

[~ Vicki ~]

change brings about a chain reaction of change which sits uncomfortable for those accustomed to routine... never be a routine... wise words from a wise young lady... start as you wish to continue, cause a chain reaction!

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

Very good poem, adapting to someone changing can be so hard, for better or for worse :)

[light and ashes]
