21. Change Is A Beautiful Thing
let autumn be proof that
change is a beautiful thing
even though it can be
hard to see at first.

Good job. It's funny how change can be the thing we need the most but want the least.

Famous Poem
I went out at night alone;
The young blood flowing beyond the sea
Seemed to have drenched my spirit’s wings—
I bore my sorrow heavily.
There's an old man I pass
Almost every single day
We don't share many words cause
We really don't have anything nice to say
I’ve been black long enough.
Long enough to know about the middle passage
Men, women, children, regardless of age
When I was young on rainy days,
Alone on my front porch I'd play.
I'd lose myself in another time
That I could create with my toys and my mind.
Time is endless but goes too fast.
You long for the future, then yearn for the past.
Summer's heat quickly turns to frost,
A child grows, their innocence lost.
I was happy when I was a lad.
It wasn't all good, but it wasn't half bad.
We played with sticks we played with stones;
The clouds never break
Like blue waters do
On this Island of Pain.
How can I stand true?
I’m always amazed how
You stand so very tall,
How you never give in,
You bend but do not fall.
Famous Poem
Can't is the worst word that's written or spoken;
Doing more harm here than slander and lies;
On it is many a strong spirit broken,
And with it many a good purpose dies.
Try as I may, try as I do,
there are days when I wish
I could go back
to the girl I used to be
every day changes you
sometimes a lot
sometimes barely
but life never stops
This life is a wonderful gift .. accept it, embrace it.
It starts with a new day .. wake up and greet it.
Life is a challenge .. take it head on and meet it.
Full of opportunity .. use it, don't waste it.
The earth spins like a rolling ball.
Stars shine bright then fade away.
Darkness melts and turns to light.
The sunrise starts another day.
My life is changing.
The life that I've had,
It's changing forever,
But no need to be sad.
I heard the voices scream
“Nigger, best shut your mouth.”
When prejudice ran wild
While hatred ruled the south
Letting go doesn’t
always look how you think it will.
Sometimes it happens all at once.
Sometimes it’s in phases.
I stand before the mirror
A stranger stares at me
I've been replaced by someone else
They're standing where I used to be.
Amongst the midnight sky,
I stare at a rose as it dies.
Its pedals are torn and bruised,
