Changing

Changing,

Forever changing,

Never the same,

Always improving.

I change for you,

I change for me,

I change for love,

I change for hate.

All these buckets of rain,

Remind me of each time I changed,

I changed for you,

All for you.

Changing,

Changing,

Forever changing,

But I'm still the same.

Always changing.....

                                                      Forever changing for you...

Author's Note

Okay well Imma explain this poem to you a bit encase you think its another one of my depressing type writes. There is a song by 'The Airborne Toxic Event' called changing so I wrote this when listening to it. They sing about a relationship and how the girl is always saying about things changing. The line where I say 'I change for hate' Is actually wrote for the spite of when people make you change so much and then when they finally like you as how they wanted you, you change just to get them to see how annoying and hurt it can make you.

Time for a nice lengthy review! In terms of the message, I find that all your thematic purposes are not covert at all in your style of writing which makes it very clear what your purpose is. I find the text color switch well connected to the theme of constant changing, evolution, dynamics,etc. I also enjoy the way you use such a small variety of words and length per stanza to express an idea. Although your initial purpose isn't clear till the end, the ideas presented beforehand act as the initial strings to the final thread. Nice personal "I" as well.

In terms of the next step to take, I would recommend possibly changing the word changing. For example: first use changing, then use evolving, or dynamic-ing (make up parts :P), or developing, morphing, etc. to portray the theme even further. Perhaps language can even be used as a motif! (If you have questions on this, ask me) Nonetheless, it's a great write!

Such a dynamic write!
Controlling people
are always trying to
force others to change.
Your poem's message
was very strong to me.
Nice! I'll have to listen
to the song now.

Amazing write, powerful and meaningful with a great meaning; i love how you wrote the meaning in this just from listening to a song, it's great. Should never have to change for someone, just be you. I love this part:
"All these buckets of rain,
Remind me of each time I changed,"
...really nice write, i love it. :)
