The Changed Phase

I used to be there,

Where they are now

I used to be there,

And they used to applaud.

Freedom, dignity,

Respect, liberty

They weren’t merely words for me,

They described me.

Honour, pride

They used to be mine.

But life’s only a circle.

There’s always someone to take your place,

There’s always someone to change the phase.

You are right my friend.
"They used to be mine.
But life’s only a circle.
There’s always someone to take your place,
There’s always someone to change the phase."
The above lines. So true. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

A simple yet very meaningful poem. Reminds me of many Memento Mori I read when I was younger. The truth is the world is always changing and everything will eventually be replaced. Nice piece of writing, really enjoyed it.

The good thing is, that when we're singing our song, the good things come around again on the guitar. Phases always change... good to bad... bad to good. Like you say, "...life's only a circle." Sometime soon, we'll hear that applause again. Keep writing...

Truly agreed. Thank you!

You are right - life can take unexpected turns. Up can change to down in a twinkle. It can be the turn of events that are beyond our control but i think that you are hinting at interpersonal relationships.
Well described!

I like the circle, the matter-of-fact resignation that you were once where they are, and the change will come the phase will pass, for them as it did for you. The great losses we experience in change- sometimes devastating ones. But something about the last two lines approaches acceptance of something out of our control. Well done.

thank you so much :D

Extremely touching use of words. Simultaneously abstract and concrete. You are a gem to the world of poetry. xx
