Everything's Changing

A poem about growing up.

I look around.
Everything's changing,
Everyone's changing.
Their minds
Don't seem so distant now.
I can understand them
When I couldn't before.
What's happening to me?
They're problems
Seemed so extreme,
So outrageous,
But now they're mine.
And I never payed attention
To how
They conquered them.
I don't know what to do now.
There's no one
To look
Up to anymore.
I can just look forward
Maybe take a stop
And look beside me
But I'm on my own.
And now
I have to learn
How to help those
Who see
That everything
And everyone
Is changing too.

I see this as a strong mindset, loosing touch with the people you once looked up too and having to develop relationships with new people. Putting your trust in them... But nothing will be the same and you will constantly look back on the past and think. No one seems worth looking up to because they are not the people you once knew. So in the end you would rather be on your own and deal with the problems that you once shared by yourself. But in the end it's not only you that's changing, the world doesn't stand still for only you and you have to take note that people will be acting different towards you too. It's just finding that balance...



I really liked this :D

Powerful stuff, man. The thought of taking on the world all alone is haunting... Very nice indeed. :-) My only comment is on your first use of "they're"; I think you might have meant "their". Other than that, I thought it was great. :D
