"My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all."


Time never delays,
Life just goes on,
Changes happen everywhere,
And nothing ever stays,
Ever stays the same.

We change, people change,
Our world changes…

Change; never sure where it'll lead,
If it’s for better or worse,
No one ever really has a clue,
But always give it a chance.
It'll lead us somewhere, somewhere new.

And I’ve been changing,
Heading towards somewhere new in life,
But sometimes, I still glance behind me,
Remember old memories,
Memories of you and I.

Remember when we once searched for life’s worth?
We’d been foolish, we should’ve known…
We’d soon discover;
All we needed to make life worth living was each other.

And time will never change this, friend.

Never really matters how much our lives change,
Never matters how much time has passed,
We’ll always need each other.

Yes, never really matters how much our crazy worlds may change,
Nothing will ever change our friendship.



And as we continue growing, learning,
As changes lead us towards somewhere new…
Remember, please
There’s one thing that’ll never change;
How much I love you.

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
Henry Drummond

This is a beautiful poem and I can also really relate to it! I also think it's one of the best I've read on Teen Ink. And I mean that. :)

It's totally fine, none taken. =) Thanks so much for taking the time to look at it anyway. I really appreciate it!

This is really good. It's full of emotion and thought. I agree, it should be published.

This is good. A little sappy, but really good! My favorite line is... "we'd soon discover, all we needed to make life worth living was each other."

Very nice choice of words. All I can say is this better be published.
