Changing Colors
You change colors a lot
Sometimes you are happy
Sometimes you are sad and very depressed
Sometimes you are angry and passive agressive
You and I had a lot in common
We were close friends and shared similar childhoods in some ways
We joked and had much fun about goofy fun things and at times obnoxious things
But the important part was it made us laugh--
But, I've been growing more and more lately
I've been tossing out many of my old ways--
I've been meeting more and newer people
Who have been teaching me a healthier way to think
A healthier way to be and to live
I am grateful for this, I am grateful for growth
But I cannot take you with me
Because you either cannot or you refuse to grow...
I think maybe some people, I know of some others, cannot really grow
I am thankful for the FUN times we had
The friendship we had and the activities and things we shared
The laughs and the playing jokes and the long talks
But times have changed and now you just throw rocks my way
Whenever I see you, you seem to only want to insult me
You hate me being better
Maybe you don't understand the concept of people changing
But people do change
I know of a family member(s) that cannot seem to change
And it is something I have to accept
I will not hate you or anyone
I will do my best to pray for everyone as well as myself
I wish you the best
