I Have ChangedBy. Tyler Howard
I’ve changed
From lying to being scared and shy I’ve changed
Growing up and learning it’s ok to cry I’ve changed
Was a little girl now I’m turning into a woman I’ve changed
I learned to do my best and try as hard as I can I’ve changed
All the pain and struggles I’ve I had I put it in the past I’ve changed
I try not to think about my brother and when I saw him last I’ve changed
I had things happen to me that I thought would never happen I’ve changed
I am not the same person that I use to be

I like this poem because its kind of inspirational showing that change can happen to anyone and in anyway.
This poem is a Free Verse because there is no rhyme or meter.
The Mood in this poem I feel is uplifting and inspiring as if the writer is trying to influence others to change for the better just as she did.

Ever-ChangingBy. Bounty Davis
We all are
Ever-changing.
A simple thought is
Ever-changing
Growing into an idea always
Ever-changing
Creating delusions of
Ever-changing
Poisoned looks hating the
Ever-changing
Turn of your
Ever-changing
Hair and your
Ever-changing
Moods and your
Ever-changing
Eyes
A simple
Ever-changing thought
can destroy a simple
Ever-changing
Mind.
Ever-Changing- Analysis I chose this poem because it speaks the truth we are ever-changing, life is, this entire world is ever-changing.
I like this poem because it talks about a truth that needs to be expected and embraced.
This poem is another Free Verse.
The Mood here is kind of informational the writer is just kind of telling you that we’re ever changing.
The Tone is repetitive for obvious reasons.
Do Not Just Long For a ChangeBy. Bashyam Narayanan
Nothing is permanent Except the change Change is a necessary phenomenon In an active system Changelessness is deadly Change is continuous Steady and driven by a cause Nature and extent of change Depend on Nature and extent of cause We all look for And indeed long for a change And we have specifications Many a time The occurring change is Not the change we were Looking or longing for We turn excited or sad Because of the change Many a time we are Unprepared for the change Though we were longing for it Often we find it difficult To accommodate and
Accept the change Nothing wrong Longing for a change But desiring itself not enough We need to create such Causes that will lead To the change we look for Many a time these causes Are not totally under our controlSo, it is well-advised To be prepared for the Deviations from your specifications Then you will find yourself In a position to acceptThe change whole-heartedly Long for a change, Plan actions accordingly, Execute and waitChange has to come But, again be prepared To accept the changeDespite its falling short Or exceeding your Specifications

I’m StuckBy. Nicole Renoso
Stuck in a world where everything has gone wrong.
Nothing is going my way anymore
New twists and turns have been made on that road I thought I had in control
Nothing is the same
Friends and family say that they notice a change in me
What change? I cannot say
Whatever happened to everyone rooting and cheering me on?
Now everyone has turned around and talked about me saying mean stuff
Now I’m desperately searching for a way out of this world.
But the thing is I end running in circles
I had the map of a perfect world.
But someone stole it now
I want my life back and my map too.
But I can’t get it back now
I’m Stuck- Analysis
I picked this poem because in all reality it’s right change isn’t easy.

The Mood of this poem is sad
The Tone is sort of hopeless it seems
A Rose in the MoonBy. Kayla HaggardAmongst the midnight sky,
I stare at a rose as it dies.
Its pedals are torn and bruised,
such a precious thing to lose.
Yet, when I stare into the full moon,
I see that it will be daytime soon.
When I hear a girl's sorrowful cries,
I know that a new rose began to arise.
Those pedals are lush and red,
nowhere close to being dead.
And as I find her inside my heart,
I know that I am not falling apart.
I finally realize who I really am,
it definitely took some time but, damn.
It was all worth it in the end.

Clean of My EmptinessBy. Emily
Off to the emptiness where I am widely invited. I do hope loneliness will consume my soul. Away the hurt will go. No more aches because the dulling numbness, will take away my feel. Stretching long and far is my path, leading to a place hoarding the lowest of lows. One more companion to guide my way. I do hope He doesn't shun my choice. Crawling through the years, peaking upwards through the vents, I see the world as it is. To people pay no attention the reflection I see. Only showing dirt,
hopelessness, and debris. Alas they only see what is shown to them. No second glance of reconsideration. Warmth and comfort, turn to foreign concepts. Taking their place, hurt and sorrow. What will become of my murky reflection, Tainted? Stained? Forgotten. Would it be easier, to just accept? Skip the pain right to the killing. Tear off the leftover shreds of my feelings. Plunge into darkness, hopefully to resurface, Clean of my emptiness.
Clean of My Emptiness-Analysis

Starting OverBy. Tatum
I’m trying to find something to base my life upon,
Something in this strange world that goes on and on.
As the years go by and time fades away,
What used to be "good days" are now filled with dismay.
Tomorrow comes, and then again, it goes,
And my ambition to become something more, grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
The life I want now, gets closer each day.
All I've ever wanted was something to live for,
I don’t want to be this little person anymore.
I’ve been basing my life upon what others think,
I wish I could go back and redo everything, every time an eye would blink.
I've fought to become who I am and what I want to be,
I have to remind myself that one day, I will be free.
Free from the rules I followed as a child,
When everything was a game and life was so mild.
Now times have changed and I realize nothing is fair,
And sometimes it seems like nobody even cares.
It’s like no one pays attention to what I feel is best for me,
And what I think about the way some things should be.
I understand now, that I’m pretty much on my own,
And I know a lot of what I can do will never be known.
All the time, I think about everything I can’t say, what I have to keep in,
And by doing this, my thoughts only get more complicated and deepen.
Soon I hope to find out who I am, and what I am meant to become,
I want to know where I’m going, I don’t need to be reminded of where I came from.

Letting Go and Holding OnBy. Martha Turner
Oh how I love life,
walking outside in spring and summer
and smelling the honeysuckle floating on the warm breeze.
Couples walking hand and hand,
smiles of happiness from being in love
owners walking their dogs,
kids laughing and playing,
birds chirping and singing all day long
each and everyday the world continues on.
I get tired of it's confusion
tired of the pain.
I'm tired of the emptiness from hearts I've parted from.
Tired of wishing for more but not knowing which way to turn
and sometimes too scared to look back.
To let go completely of yesterday,
and grasp a hold on the hope of tomorrow.
A hope that if tomorrow gets here, it won't be like yesterday.
Yesterday's holding on to the hope of a lost love
yesterday's disappointments of the same ol' routine
yesterday's wishing bills didn't exist
so there wouldn't be any living from check to check.
Yesterday's empty dreams of a fairy tail ending,
Wanting an end to all my struggling.
OH... holding onto the hope of tomorrow...
A tomorrow filled with pure happiness
knowing that this direction on the path is the one and only way...
Success.
A tomorrow filled with the reassurance that your headed for better days.
A tomorrow with a love that was sent to you from the heaven above that will only grow
deeper and deeper as time goes by to last forever.
A tomorrow that will complete and fulfill yesterdays wants and dreams.
A tomorrow that will conquer all my hardships and troubles.
I grasp the thought of what wonderfulness tomorrow could bring.

Who Am I?By. Miranda
Who am I?
what is the real reason to why I cry?
I'm having trouble opening up
My mind is at a loss
I don't move so I'm getting covered in moss
But it doesn't grow the right way
I thought it was supposed to show you the way
I just want to get home
Where I can be alone
I'm sick of feeling closed in
I'm not an animal you can put in a pin
I need to be free
So I can see all I can see
I don't want to be locked up
I want to come to my senses
I remember everything he mentions
Yet I don't know me
That's who I can't see
It seems so simple
But that can't be
'Cause if is was so
I'd know where to go
I don't know who to go to
I need to talk it through
But they can't know me
And they can't see
I can't find them
How can this be

ChangeBy. Brenda Poole
Seasons come and go
Sceneries change over time
Nothing stays the same
Should we be revised?
Of course, it's necessary
All are due for change
Without change there's no
Future to look forward to
Change lives on a throne
Change can make us cry
Change can also make us laugh
Sometimes change is death
Sometimes change is life
Nothing ever changes change
Change is always change!
