Change in the Air

 By IS

 I can feel a change in the air
 A change that isn’t fair
 Taking something that I love so much
 My pride and my honor that can never be touched 
 Change could be a good thing
 Or change could be tough
 It can leave you wondering
 Wondering if it’s enough
 Are you changing for yourself
 Or changing for someone else?
 Never will I change to impress
 But sometimes change happens for the best
 Changing your mindset in order to progress

    I believe that to even consider change at the least is progression. Being stuck in a certain frame of mind for so long can have a person one track minded. I like this poem because I can relate to change and what it means to me.

    I reckon change is hard! I like your last line, how it links change of mindset with progress. I found that change for the better is the best, and it is still hard, no matter what!

    Change is hard!
    But you what the best part about change is? Being about it. When a person changes for the better, everything plays out positively for them. Keep up the good work.

    Excellent poem! Thanks for helping us remember that change can be both good and bad. I like how you say that change isn’t always in our hands and that it can take away something we love and care about. However change is inevitable and we should all embrace it as it is a part of life.
