You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)

I saw you today,
But you're not as I remember.
Your eyes no longer sparkle,
You've changed since last September.

You were so full of life,
Yet now you are so cold.
Your personality has tarnished,
When you once had a heart of gold.

You fell out of my life,
Just like leaves in the fall.
We were so very close,
Now you're not here at all.

You saw me today,
I'm the same as you remember.
My eyes still sparkle,
I've not changed since last September.

Isn't it so sad when you see an old friend and their whole personality and outlook on life has changed...and not for the good. Well that's what inspired me for this poem...I hope you enjoyed it

A good friend of mine changed after a we didnt talk for a while, but it was just that he was hurting as much as i was and he changed. but fortunately it all fell back together again. i hope it does the samewith you and your friend

Thank you:)

I'm sorry that you're having to go through this also...it's never fun to see someone change right in front of your eyes and not knowing what to do about it.

Oh I'm sure your sonnet is as good and prolly better:) Don't sell yourself short I bet you're an amazing writer;)

Wow, this is really great. It really applies to my friend and I; she has changed so much (not for the better). Anyway, you are inspiring (I am writing a sonnet at the moment, but it is not half as good as yours.
