Bits and Pieces: Change

Hello readers,

Change

Why does change have to be so hard?
Why can't things stay the way they are?

I love the way everything went
the way i was able to smile
and not be pushed or rushed.

This poem is still in mid-writing and I still feel like changing it. Ha! Change is the topic... well maybe I'll let you continue it and write your own version.

Change makes you a more beautiful person in my opinion.
Have a positive mindset for change and embrace it. It's inevitable so we might as well make the most of it and enjoy it as much as possible?
It is change, but it makes us so much stronger. It makes us grow as people and Muslims and Human Beings. It does so much for us. Of course when things around us change and we think everything's just going way too quickly it can be like, 'muuuh', but it's gonna happen and that's a test for us to keep up. Something can always stay the same though. You can always smile, your smile will always remain if you allow it to inshaAllah (:. <3 I love the poem it's so deep - and you know how changing a poem can make a poem better, it's the same with life. Let's say that the words in the poems are like us. And as you change the poem, everything around the words is changing. Another comma here, an added line there and even another capital letter?! :O, hehe might sound strange, but try to think of the words personified. They may feel like their whole poem, their life is changing and they don't want it to. They much preferred the first draft. But as you, the writer changes the poem bit-by-bit, little-by-little, it can do wonders to the poem - right?
The words don't see how beautiful a poem becomes with change. So basically, in the poem of life, Change makes you a more beautiful word, or person ;). Keep Smiling, a smile stays the same, as does the sparkle in your smile (: <3

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets  Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...
