You Have to Change it Yourself

May 20, 2014

It was such a dull day here in Kansas
Everyone's smile look pasted on with force
Feelings that made me want to be stranded
Those pasted on smiles include me of course

Everyone and me were so unhappy
Everything just came out and wouldn't stop
My feelings were out and I had no key
To clean up my tears I would need a mop

My heart was completely torn apart
This problem left me feeling so alone
I needed to change things within my heart
I need to go at life with a new tone

I noticed i needed to change my ways
In reality it was the best day.

I wrote this poem as a shout out that you have to change your ways if you want something to change, and if you wait for something else to fix it, its not going to happen. I wrote this poem on a day that I lost all of my friends and it has helped me a lot in ways that I didn't think i could help myself.
