The Changed Phase

The Changed Phase

A Poem by iamshadowine

I used to be there,

Where they are now

I used to be there,

And they used to applaud.

Freedom, dignity,

Respect, liberty

They weren’t merely words for me,

They described me.

Honour, pride

They used to be mine.

But life’s only a circle.

There’s always someone to take your place,

There’s always someone to change the phase.

Anytime dear
I like the flow and the rhymes. This poem reminds me of the song, "My train of thoughts" by Kamelot. Life is a circle, and we all go through phase shifts as time goes by.

Well done.

I like the way it rhymes, and so true life is a circle and one has to go full circle (unless one does not live).

Whether you meant to or not, this is a writing about the Ouroboros.... a representation of the "dawn state".... Life feeds on life (circle of life if your a lion king fan). And of course that whole vampire thing. Well done good sir, fine, very fine work.
