I Changed? Poem by Fab Ricciardi

So you think it’s easy

You just sit back and criticize

Any idea what I went through?
What I’m going through?

It’s easy to just point a finger

Wish I had it that easy

Had to do things on my own
For so long, much too alone
But
I apologize if I’ve changed
If I’m not the way I used to be

Sorry if I changed

I choose not to live in the past
I choose to go on
This time, my way

You can all point your fingers
But
Why not look in the mirror?
The person in the mirror
Is the one you should care about
Do not worry about my worries

Sorry if I changed

Just let me live my life
This time, my way

What’s inside will never die
You cannot change the way I feel

My blood still bleeds red

Sorry if you think
I changed

But you see

I’m still the same
