I Hate Change

I get so used to what's going on now

And I accept it

As a constant in my life,

But then change comes around

And tears it all down

And destroys it,

Rips it apart

And shreds it to pieces,

And makes everything different.

It pulls me out of my newfound comfort zone

And sticks me into something new,

And I hate the new.

I hate change.

I'd rather stay in my peaceful, comfortably

Happy place where I know what's going on!

I don't want things to change

That are out of my control

And I don't give a damn how childish it is,

I hate it and I have my reasons for it.

First change took my friend away,

Then change took my life

That I finally decided I liked

And is beginning to rip my friends away from me again,

And it won't let me keep them.

Half of the world is growing up,

And the other half is stuck where I am,

Together for now, but we know

That soon enough we'll be part of the upper half

And grow apart

And change,

So why are we forced to be tortured like this?

Why stabilize yourself in one area when it's just going to change?

Why do anything?
