The Changes We Cannot Make

There are some things I wish I could change. I will when I can but now's not the time.

The Changes We Cannot Make

___________________________________

I miss you.

I want things to be back to how they were.

Back when we could talk every day.

I know it’s not possible.

We can still hope there will be change.

I know it’s possible.

Maybe not now.

This will take time.

A long time.

I know you miss me too,

But it’s out of your control.

Our life has changed in ways we never thought was possible.

Change can be good.

Change can also be bad.

This kind of change is both good and bad.

We used to see each other every day.

Now we don’t.

We still get to talk to each other.

Just not as much.

I miss talking to you so much.

You have helped me through life.

I’ve helped you through life.

We’ve been through so much together.

I’ve helped you in so many ways.

I know you still care about me.

You know I still care about you.

We are just too young to change this.

Our parents don’t understand.

They think us having phones means we still communicate.

And we do.

Life isn’t all about talking through the phone.

That also requires time.

Time is being filled for you.

I have time.

I have lots of time.

But both of us need time to talk together.

We can’t change what happened.

It’s way out of our control.

It’s one of many things we can’t control.

We are too young to make any kind of change.

It could be a change in our lives,

Or the world. 

Our parents need to realize that we are more capable than they think.

Just doing things themselves doesn’t help us.

We need to be taught without yelling.

I hate getting yelled at.

It doesn’t fix the problem.

It just creates more.

We can’t change how our parents parent us.

They only know yelling and telling us to stop crying.

They think it gets us to do what they want us to.

It just teaches us that we must do these things before getting yelled at.

They don’t know what to do when they’re stressed.

So they take it out on their kids.

We don’t deserve this.

We deserve better.

We are going to be the change.

This is something we can change.

Not now,

But when we have kids.

We will always teach our kids how to handle their emotions.

We will learn too.

But this will take time.

It will take time to make this change.

Make a change in your life. It doesn't have to be now, just when you get the chance.
