Things Change
by Iosua Tai Taeoalii
My
life has changed for the better and the worse
It’s a curse
of existence, Since my infant years when I used…
to, search for acceptance from my peers
A lifetime has deceased, many friends did too
My mentality’s matured,
And i’ve paid my dues
I miss the ones I left behind and find they miss
me too?
Time has a strange way
of creating confusion
I never was a loser, but I often did lose
An Imperious behavior,
A savior over due
Never serious but curios enough to make it
through
The adolescent years of a
rebellious youth
Ironically a rebel was the mascot of my school
That’s why I’m telling’ you
How change can make the huge
Difference, For instance on the path’s that you
choose
Will have a gnarly impact
on the life that you’ll lose
Denying any change leaves you alone and removed
I don’t require any proof,
i’ve seen it happen to you
And you and you and you and you and you and you
I used to want to fight, now i love
I used party all night now I slum-
-ber,
By eight o’clock, Rocked my world early on in my
life
Bypassed a church mission, married a wife
Analyzed my condition, and buried the knife
As I glare at the pictures in the hall
On the wall,
wonder in my mind what happened to it all
Are memories the only thing I’ll ever have left
I accept the wreck
In fact i’ll never be the same
Explaining main things will almost never change,
Like Americans attempts to pronounce my name
Boomerang in and out of fame
Change is the culprit of my gain
And pain would mainly explain my change
Even when i avoided the same Things
that annoyed me
to insanely
Go against the grain
See i wasn’t one to be ignored
I stored my feelings in a cup at lunch
While a bunch of things sat on my shelf
I needed help and change
Hold my hand, man
Quick sand swallowed this poor man inside, ate
me alive
That’s why, i’ve made attempts to change
And change and change and change again.
I’m realizing this year what all this time can
do
It’s left me heart broken, alone and immensely
confused
I’ve defended and refused
Made amends with my rues
And accepted my best elected friends to me
Will make the change from loved one’s to enemies
I’ve never seen change gather in a mass of
disaster
I’m the master of my own hologram
Standing up against times demand
To capture my attentions with the grasp of my
hand
And hand me the pleasure of a lesser treasure
I’ve measured all these years that have vanished
and passed
And at last
My hardest change came in the frame from a boy
to a man. |
