Change

My heart once open,

Now torn, tattered and frail.

Like ice to water.

I've changed.

My mind once sharp and trusting,

Now doubts, questions and fears.

Like wind to a tornado.

I've changed.

My body once strong and youthful,

Now weak, worn and slow.

Like a flower in a drought.

I've changed.

My aura once free and spirited,

Now reserved, hesitant and hidden.

Like a wild animal now caged.

I've changed.

My future, once positive and bright,

Now bleak, dark and coming to an end.

Like a fire to ash.

I will change.
