Things change.
I know that, everybody knows that.
I just don’t like it.
I know that a lot of people don’t like it,
but I don’t like it way more than anybody else.
Everybody else gets used to things
when they change.
But I don’t.
I never have, I never do.
It’s not fair.
I suffer more than anybody else
when something changes.
no matter if it is a good change or a bad change,
I would rather it didn’t happen.
I understand most things about life
except why things change.
Most people get bored of things being the same,
but I would rather it be that way.
To me change is like a tornado.
It just rips right through everything.
And it happens whether your ready or not.
Even if it’s good,
it’s still change,
it still sucks,
it still makes things different.
If it’s already good why change it?
Even if you can make it better,
why do you need it to be better when it’s already good?
I just don’t understand it.
All my life I’ve wanted to know why it things change.
But nobody knows the answer.
I always want to know why about everything.
And I always got an answer.
Except about change.
Why doesn’t anybody know?
Maybe nobody else cares.
But I do.
And to me that’s more important than anything else.
I want to know.
I will know.
