A poem about how people, and events in our lives change us everyday.

I will never be the same.
By Chrisp


Sometimes I never know. Sometimes I never understand. Just a fact of life, I will never be the same.

A baby is born, a parent dies. Tears surrender to what I can not say. I will never be the same.

One snow flake falls, on summer’s day, lightest touch to my face.
How can I forget, what I do not understand.
I will never be the same.

Rare to find a diamond on the beach, with so many dull grains of sand. It shines so bright it takes my breath away.
I will never be the same.

Happiness sings if only for a moment, but sadness also speaks; her story weights heavy on my heart.
I will never be the same.

Time passes so fast, I must give in to sleep; though I fight it all the way. I will never be the same.

My memories soar above the clouds, and then I land again, assaulted by the world. Love and Hope are all I have; I hang my head in shame. I will never be the same.

What can I offer a world, for which I do not know? I close my eyes to wake again.
The memories linger on. Only time will tell if they fade away; for now I hope they stay.
I will never be the same.
