Array ( [sid] => 81840 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Change [time] => 2005-01-28 09:55:56 [hometext] => Don't sit back while life passes u by. I'm sure you've heard that before, but how many ppl dont recognize the cliche and understand what it means? Being laid back all ur life expecting things isnt worth it. Get out and make a difference. Critiques invited [bodytext] => I step into this world
From God knows where,
Complaining about this place.
Crying everyday
‘Till it’s too much to bear.
Tears streaming down my face…

But it’ll change someday.
Someday, I pray,
That things will go my way.
For this, I pray.

Make my way through the world,
Home towards my back.
Complaining about today.
A love lost or never was,
For the looks I more than lack,
I cant help but say…

It will change for me someday.
Ill find the right words to pray.
It will change for me some way.
For this, I’m willing to pray.

I prepare to step onto a world,
God only knows where,
And things have yet to change.
Life spent complaining,
Happiness too much to bear,
It was up to me to re-arrange.

It would’ve changed someday.
It would’ve gone my way,
If I didn’t only say
“For this, I pray.”

"Home towards my back. "

I didn't understand that. I also think that your ending petered out, weakly, where you should have hammered your message of procrastinating regret home more fully. Perhaps another stanza might to the trick, but its long enough already . . .

Just a suggestion.

Great message here. Especially relevant for me, since I'm in the process of getting ready to step out myself. Words we need to hear.

so emotional and so well written. i loved it even better the second time. change, it seems like everything i wanted to stay the same has changed, and everything i wanted to change, stayed the same, and i still waste my life. its good to see some philosophy, wisdom, and emotion in a poem, such a rarity these days.

This was a phenominal poem Marc! I take back what I said before about my favorite poem I think this could be it! Great ending and I love the similarities between second and fourth stanzas and yet the differences in them as well.

Spectacular job!
