Time and Change

Time

That word makes me angry

And sad

And apprehensive

All at the same time

Time

It controls us.

Time to get up.

Time to go back to school

Time to say goodbye to your friends

Forever.

Time is not my friend.

Never has been.

Time is what split my friendships.

Time is what took my grandma away from me,

And my uncle,

And my aunt.

Just when you think your safe.

Time rears it’s ugly head

And causes change.

Change.

Time and change.

Working together,

Becoming the evils of the world.

Change can be both good and bad.

If I hadn’t changed,

I might not have met some of the wonderful people

I know today.

But, if time hadn’t affected change,

The crew’d still be together

We’d be laughing together,

Crying together.

Staying together.

Time

Change

Two words that make me want to cry.

With time comes change.

With change comes heartbreak,

Comes tears,

Comes death.

Time and change

Two words that I hate most of all.

So laugh harder,

Forgive easier,

Smile quicker,

Frown less,

And live your time to the fullest.

Because when time and change come together again

You’ll be happy you at least lived to the fullest

While you could.
