Change

Change

A Poem by SleepiePenguin

I need to change how I am,
I want to change how I am.

These thoughts of mine get so tiring,
they even tend to make my heart sigh.

The words I speak need to find a different form,
they like to hurt others without meaning to.

Everything I do--it needs to change,
I don't want to be this way,
but I think some part of me
wants to keep it this way.

Could it actually be true?
That small voice somewhere deep inside, 
calling out so faintly when the best of me
wants to stop, get the best of my kind
intentions?

I felt the sadness in these words, it touched me, it brought truth to this poem, I like poems that tell how people feel deep down.

Thank you, and I'm glad you thought that way :)
As people we are always changing and re-evaluating what we want and who we want to be.

Sometimes there is a reason why we are they way we are and it makes it harder to change that aspect.

Love the idea of trying to; wanting to change.
