A Little Change

by Timothy W. Crawford



This poem is dedicated to everyone who is making a positive 
change admist negative forces. 


"Yeah I've heard all about it, how I am supposed to be fake
because I've made a few changes .  I ain't trippin!
Hasn't anybody ever told you a little change is good?
Hey, you do what you have to and I'll do what I have to".
PEACE!


U used to be my main man
we used to have the same plans
now something has changed my view
something has gone eschew, 
be it me,
or be it u
I'm not knockin how you live or what you got going on
Who am I to judge if your living right or wrong,
all I know is...

I've got a reason to wake up every morning
I've  got a reason to smile when the sky is falling
I've  got a reason to have some hope
I've got a reason to do more than cope.

I guess as the years went on; so did I
we used to drown our miseries in alcohol,
but now I just dry my eyes
some call me wise
Still, I didn't change for no one else
I found dignity inside myself
Now I accept only what I select
avoid  actions that would disrespect.
I can't control u, but I can suggest a release,
do what you have to,  find some peace
I'm not looking 4 u to clap or even agree,
the only acceptance I need is inside of me.
u know what??

I've got a reason to wake up every morning
I've  got a reason to smile when the sky is falling
I've  got a reason to have some hope
I've got a reason to do more than cope.

I still got love 4 u, we've been through ups and downs,
I just decided I need more ups, so I won't be around
I've got nothing against you, in my heart we're still tight
And if the rest talk shit let em,
tell em whatever you like,
I've got nothing to prove,
I've found my own groove
u should too
a little change is cool
