A Little Too Much Change

Contributed by desolantdreamer on Wednesday, 27th February 2008 @ 02:10:30 AM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles

I talked to absolutely no one
Fought off people with all I could
A misanthrope to most
I couldn't keep to myself enough
But I was in so deep that I was starting to suffocate
I watched as my dreams fell before me
And I can't let that happen again
I pulled myself up again
And clambored out of the darkness
Bearing the pressure on both my shoulders
I struggled, and slipped, but held fast to my hopes
I changed my hair, my clothes, my personality
And I got myself a nice, yet demanding, job
And watched in amazement as things turned for the better
Fighting throught the struggle
Plowing through the troubles
I sat and watched the toll it took
I was doing better in every aspect
Except I was exausted and lonely
Was it worth it to turn so drastically?
It wasn't long after then, I found myself slipping
Depression and self-hate poured upon me
Yanking me back down into the cold ocean I had tried to free myself of
Everything was getting worse, and I feared that my time was over
I needed a change, needed it now
Picking up the phone I made the only decision that I could
Ending one of the main causes of my stress
I quit my job
Maybe it was the change I needed, maybe it was a mistake
Time will be the one to tell
But right now, I feel okay
Sometimes change is the right way to go
Sometimes too much change
Just may hurt more than it helps

Oh boy this I can relate to, I am not a creature of drastic change but you are so right....... we must go with a flow and bend and change for growth does not come without it........ then again we can go to far and screw up big time been there done that both ways...
