Change

A poem describing the constant changes a person goes through throughout their life.

We are all born one way,

helpless,

useless,

afraid.

We continue our lives, each day becoming less

helpless,

useless.

But one thing never changes,

our fear.

We carry our fears,

through day,

through night,

through love,

through pain.

We fear so much,

death,

sickness,

pain.

We fear one thing above all,

change.

Change of our 

home,

friends,

family.

We fear the most basic event in our short lives,

change.

We change things everyday,

gender,

lovers,

even our coffee.

These changes frighten us,

as well as others.

But we must accept,

we are never the same as when we are born.

We must accept,

change never waits,

change never relents.
