The Shift

Adapting through change when your mind and soul rejects it

To feel every shift,

Every change sends shivers down my body

Each milidegree variation ripples violently through me

Shaking my core, as if hanging on a cliff

 

Everytime my body replays the shift

It reproduces the changes

It feels them repeatedly 

until my body finally 

adapts to it

 

Only, tiny shifts occur every second, 

When my heart must fit a new mold 

When it must break to fit new spaces

 

Never letting it settle

For every change,

Every vibe,

Requires it to renew itself

While keeping the cracks fresh,

Preparing for the next shift

This can be any number of changes. It can be the start of a new career or the beginning of a new school or the ultimate one, trying to accept that the heart can learn to love again. Its difficult to accept that when you loved once before you feel that the next love will hurt you and so you stick to that mentality. Change can be good! Great Read!

Thank you for your review!
I agree with you. In fact I believe that change is always good, and you always get to the place you were meant to be at, whether it is career-wise or relationships.
I guess I wanted to capture that moment where you don't yet see that yet, and it hurts for some time. Until you wake up and realize it was foolish to waste time and embrace the change ;)
Thanks again

I wrote a poem called, FIGHT WITH MYSELF and it is more on the relationship aspect of things. Your poem brought me back to the one I wrote where throughout the poem I still wouldn't accept that I am in a great relationship and I couldn't let go of the bad one I was in before. This piece truly touched me.

I'm glad it did. I hope you can find a way to accept that the moment you lived were meant to be just that, moments. Since then, you have grown, you have learned, and you will keep learning. Even though it's incredibly hard to see it, I guess every one of us has that one moment where it clicks and we realize that new experiences await

Thanks! I have definitely managed to accept that. THANK GOD! but it was tough. Nothing is meant to be easy or handed over to you. But releasing what I was feeling was the start for me. Thank you!
