Change, change and more change,
Of context, place and time.
Why is it that life's transient stage,
Plays havoc with my mind?
You said, "We'll go to McDonald's"
But this was just a thought.
I was set for hours,
But the plan then came to naught.
My tears and confused frustration,
At plans that do not appear,
picture of Wendy Lawson and sister Are painful beyond recognition,
And push me deeper into fear.
How can life be so determined?
How can change be so complete?
With continuity there is no end,
Security and trust are sweet.
So, who said that change would not hurt me?
Who said my 'being' could not be safe?
Change said, "You need continuity"
In order to find your place.
For change makes all things different,
They no longer are the same.
What was it that you really meant?
All I feel is the pain.
I found this in a book I'm reading and I think it's a really good poem. On the second verse it reminds me of when my birthday plans got moved this year and there was hell up. Have any of you read any of Wendy Lawson's poetry? I know she's wrote a book but I haven't read it yet, I've only seem a few poems on her site (site link)
