Nothing stays the same. Everything constantly changes in one way or another. Once I was shaken by how similar my days were, how boring and depressing my life have become. It turned out that I changed and was actually suffering from depression! Nothing is ever what it seems, and everything evolves and transforms while you try to figure it out. It is amazing how busy time is! Change is truly the only constant, and it will be to my benefit if I can just accept it and embrace it and not live in the past, but become a creature of the present so I can jump into the future!

I am no longer who I was when I was young,
and I am not yet that which I eventually will become.
I am simply me, sitting here behind my eyes,
trying to divine the truth from all the many lies.

Off all the lies ever sold there is non so bold
as those I told myself, and as time unfold
I discovered that we all fake it till we make it,
because that is how personality is formed and built.

Already I am more than what I was just seconds ago,
forever moved and changed by the way time go.
A little older, greyer, sharper of wit with stubborn grit,
and unwilling to quit and submit to guilt and just exist!

So I will let time have her slow way with me,
and in her dogged flow I will swim and strive to grow
and show just how a stubborn old fool can use
time as a tool to form and shape his mind and soul.

Now is the time to live a life unlimited in scope and range,
and you will know that you managed to escape your cage
when others look and stop to use their gauge,
to take their measure, and then call you strange!
