TIME FOR A CHANGE

       

        I can't forgive myself
        for feeling trapped.
        Resentments grow.
        This isn't what I planned.
        My faith begins to fade.
        I can't adapt.
        I slither off
        from where I used to stand.
        My old convictions
        simply do not fit.
        It think it's time
        for me to slink away.
        Campaigns and hobbies, tasks
        I have to quit,
        Abandon games and music
        I don't play.
        It's time to throw out
        worn out clothes.
        It's time to toss
        old books and odds and ends.
        To free myself
        of tastes and creeds
        all goes.
        It's time to shuck off
        relatives and friends.
        It's not betrayal
        or fear of what's ahead.
        So I'm a snake.
        Well, this one's got to shed.

We are all endlessly adaptive... like Madonna.
