[hometext] => Too much change and you'll drown, too little change and you'll never learn your potential
[bodytext] => I talked to absolutely no one Fought off people with all I could A misanthrope to most I couldn't keep to myself enough But I was in so deep that I was starting to suffocate I watched as my dreams fell before me And I can't let that happen again I pulled myself up again And clambored out of the darkness Bearing the pressure on both my shoulders I struggled, and slipped, but held fast to my hopes I changed my hair, my clothes, my personality And I got myself a nice, yet demanding, job And watched in amazement as things turned for the better Fighting throught the struggle Plowing through the troubles I sat and watched the toll it took I was doing better in every aspect Except I was exausted and lonely Was it worth it to turn so drastically? It wasn't long after then, I found myself slipping Depression and self-hate poured upon me Yanking me back down into the cold ocean I had tried to free myself of Everything was getting worse, and I feared that my time was over I needed a change, needed it now Picking up the phone I made the only decision that I could Ending one of the main causes of my stress I quit my job Maybe it was the change I needed, maybe it was a mistake Time will be the one to tell But right now, I feel okay Sometimes change is the right way to go Sometimes too much change Just may hurt more than it helps [comments] => 1 [counter] => 190 [topic] => 61 [informant] => desolantdreamer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
