Transformed

It is said that every seven years your body changes;

That every cell is replaced and you are transformed into a completely new person.

Well, I hope that next time you get changed back into the person you used to be, because I don’t recognize you anymore.

I find myself delving into our memories together, trying to keep the old you alive;

You were the person I could always turn to no matter what, the person I told all my secrets to.

But now all my secrets are the habits I have gotten myself into trying to forget what you have turned into.

You are the monster that I feared would be under my bed when I was a little girl,

And the beautiful Queen that turned out to be a witch.

When we were younger, I would look at you and think “that’s my hero”

Now, all I can say is “that’s not the person I grew up with”

And I wish that our feelings got replaced every seven years as well, because I still miss you.

This was just amazing. It's like when you wake up and look into a mirror and you are like who is that person? I'm not happy with this I want ME back! xo Winter

Such a great poem. Full of emotions and sadness. I loved the thought behind it and the idea.
Well done :)

Some say that it is healthier for the mind to forgive and forget everything bad or anything not useful. But I say that one should do what makes them happy, for happiness is the key to success.

Please don't hesitate to send me reading requests. (:

You described a great way to show how a person can change. I really liked the beginning how you stated every seven years a person's body completely changes. Nice good job on this one.

I LOVE this! I love that you wrapped your feelings around this core idea, and you expressed it so well! great write!

Mysterious, I would think that the person is you because of how the poem is structured.When I do an introspection of myself I see I transformed occasionally,and daily,some times it is good and at times not good..This is deep stuff more a spiritual issue than a physical one. Thanks for sharing

I actually wrote this about my sister, but I see how you would think it was about me, I actually saw that myself as I was writing it :)
