Troubles Poem by jacqui fleming

Is changing good,
or is changing bad,

who can decide?
who has the power?
who has the right?
who has that over me?

i loved who i was,
i loved who i could become,
i loved the fact that i was number one,
i loved that it was just me and me.

but now look at what has happened,
look at the grass wilt and fade,
look how it burns in the rain,
it only took one moment.

it only ever takes a moment,
for the most powerful thing to rule your life,
but why should i let the wind blow,
push and pull me when i can stand tall and strong.

why should i be like the others,
why should my dreams rattle and shake,
why should i wilt and fall.

ive got nothing to gain,
ive got nothing to lose,
so why should the gail push and pull?

did i desevere it?
what did i do?
or is it for things to come?
is it to push and pull me to the right position in life?

who knows,
who ever knows,
but all i know is,
in life never stand too small....
