INSIDE MY ROOM #9

Continuing our segment of story time called INSIDE MY ROOM where we will be sharing poetry instead of monologues or fictional short stories. Today’s story time features a poem called Time has changed by Lauren Brady.

Time has changed.

The world froze, from the constant, hustle – transaction to purchase – work, pay, End — result.

Time has changed, the world thaw

Beings who’s shape remained still but,

The mind,

                     remained,

                                     Moving,

Traveling through time, 

but habits were Altered 

                               Distorted 

                                                   and I have forgotten 

I have forgotten 

Perfection 

It got tossed 

The result became too high a cost 

I have forgotten 

Greed 

It overgrew 

And changed my life from what I knew 

I’ve forgotten 

Hate

It transformed 

And created me into a different form

I’ve forgotten 

(            )

Many things 

I find life best when you’re not to cling 

I

Know

It’s been hard

To live stuck in time

But, I’ve gained some practice 

In the back of my mind

Some old some 

New

I

Have practiced  

Patience 

The time it takes 

To wait for things to stop their shakes

Have practiced 

Kindness 

The heart it fills

To greet the rest of the world with goodwill 

Have practiced 

Mistakes 

The knowledge they give 

To share with others and always 

                                                       forgive.
