You can break my bones
You can throw sticks and stones
You can take
Just about everything

You can take away my time
You can rule my mind
You can do
Just about anything

But you can’t change me
I am still me
I, will always be

You can hurt me today
You can take it all away
You can try
To change my head

You can change my ways
You can tell me what to say
You can leave me now
Leave me left for dead

But you can’t change me
I am still me
I,
Will always be

*smile*

I've long given up on trying to change others to suit me. A lesson in futility, as I have discovered. And no, it's not that the other will not change, it's that I am changing too, and that, lovie, is the magick of that lightning in a bottle alignment of perfect suitability. Two people in flux, finding each other in...perfection? I'd need a census taker, a slew of physicians and a mathematical genius to figger out the odds.

Thought-provoking piece, though.

Enjoyed.

Change will always happen, but it's good if we are coherent to our own profound nature. But we are in the eternal flow and nothing remains as it is ...

Well said.

Love,
Margherita
