Time changes you

we think as kids that we will never change. Though the truth is even if it is unoticable we have changed

I used to run away from things

It was easier just to go.

I used to sit and cry

and hide it from everyone I know.

 

I used to smile for the benefit not of my own

I would fake it for everyone.

I used to think i could never change

but in this time i have grown.

 

I used  to try to forget

to remember nothing at all.

I used to cower in the shaddows.

unable to stand tall.

 

I used to think I was useless.

that there was nothing time could do.

I used to be naïve

but time changes you.

This is a life lesson most people learn and all people should, i've never heard it worded so well though. Very well done. Your quite the talented one :) Good work. I really love the metaphors you use all through out the poem, over all fantastic job. Keep writing!

The content's good, but I feel as if it's kept too general. You could get waaaay more specific, set a scene, a dialogue, a conversations. There's alot of playing around you could do with this subject matter. Also when tending to use a rhyme scheme it's best to keep it consistant so that they reader isn't offset.

I like this, very relatable (?) to many people. We all have our downs, where there's no hope and our bouts of depression swallow us whole. This poem is true in a lot of ways, and very poweful. And it never seems true when it's happening, but once things are better, you can't help but relate to these things.
Great job!
