Changes

When I was young, I lived with my near-age cousins in one roof.
We played a lot. Even though I was often the butt of jokes, we had fun.
But one day, they had to move.
I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..."

A few years later, I had a friend next door.
We also played a lot. Building Legos. Even though he was possesive and won't let me go home, we had fun.
But one day, my family had to move.
I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..."

A few years later, a monster entered my life.
Lurking in the shadows. I began to see the world around me.
One day, I was utterly distorted.
I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..."

A few years later, I stepped into highschool.
I had a lots of friends, good friends. Highschool life is priceless.
But one day, I had to part with them and stand on my own.
I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..."

A few years later, my friends at church were perfect.
We would go together here and there. Like there's not tomorrow.
But one day, they had to leave. Leave me alone.
I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..."

A few years later, I stepped into college.
I learned to find and express myself. Made lasting friendships. College life is priceless.
But one day, I knew I will part with them too.
I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..."

If these hadn't happen, I wouldn't be the person I am today.
Hardships are unevitable but pain is only in the mind which for now I must endure.
As the saying goes, "This too shall pass."
