Changed..

They say I’ve changed.. My answer.. Of course I have

How can I stand as tall as I once was?

When the knives in my back have curved my spine..

How can I smile as bright as I once did?

When the deceit has stained my aura..

How can I hug as tight as I once did?

When their betrayal has weakened my grip on reality..

Changed you say? Of course I have..

Wouldn’t you?

Wouldn’t you change when all you once fought for, once believed

It’s all been destroyed by the ones that were supposed to protect you..

The ones that call themselves blood, the ones who you fought for

Are the same ones that stabbed you the deepest…

Yes.. I have chaged..

Weakened by betrayal and saddened by their greed and vindictiveness..

I have indeed.. changed.. and I am ok with that now..

In time, I will become stronger than I once was..

But never the same… FOREVER CHANGED…
