Change

In order to grow, we have to make changes. Look at the poetry illustration, and you

can view the look in Tupac’s face. Your first thought might be of him looking sad or

depressed. Or he’s in a deep thought of thinking, finding ways to change his life

around. My poem Change is a motive from Tupac’s song Change, but in my poetry

version. Have you ever look at situations that goes on in your life and wonder

why are things happening this way ? Or your thinking about why does the same results

keeps on happening to you ?

Sometimes we are the problem. It is not people around us or the things that happen in

our lives. There are times that we tend to blame people for our own actions or the

mistakes that we make. We let our pride get  in the best of us sometimes, and you wonder

why things doesn’t go the way we expected them to plan out. People tend to stress on

relationship that doesn’t go well, friendship problems, job opportunities that we slack

on, or any situation that repeatedly fails most of the time.

This poem talks about self-change. I talked about how I prayed to GOD to ask for

change, but I see no change, I live my life but see no change, As I wait for a shine to

make a change, until I saw it was me that needed some change. I came to a

realization that it was me that needed to change. Most of us would not think that

sometimes. Once we start to learn ourselves more, willing to change certain things

about ourselves, that’s when your life will start to turn around differently.

If your expecting to have a successful marriage, relationship with a significant other,

or a healthy friendship, we need to work on ourselves first. We have to take care of

ourselves, making sure our life is stable, mentally strong, and in the right direction.

Once in your a committed relationship with your love one, you have another

responsibility to take care of as an adult. As a child of GOD, we need to humble ourselves

and realize what we do all the time is not always right and good. There’s going to be a

point in life that we have to learn from one another, and to educate our brain to see

better results. Once we starting making changes within ourselves, the world will be a

better place, our lives will start to change, you will begin to see more growth within

yourself, and becoming a better person for your family.

Coming to realize of your mistakes and failures, is one big step to success. How can you

become successful in life without change or learning from your failures. Life isn’t

always going to be beautiful. As a community, we have to go through it’s darkest

moments to rise to a beautiful new day of opportunities. Everyday is new lesson to

make a new change for our lives to become better in each moment.

Why wait for a perfect moment to change, or wait for tomorrow, when that

moment or tomorrow isn’t promised for us? Why can’t we make a change now, instead

of waiting? Once you have that mindset of “NOW, NOT LATER”, I promise you will see

a better a version of yourself every single day.

“It’s time for us people to make a change” – Tupac Amaru Shakur.
