a creature of habit
everything always the same
a routine set for life
a life as a schedule

everything always the same
nothing to make new waves
everyday smooth as glass
not even a tiny ripple

nothing to make new waves
nothing to change the course
of everything always the same
a routine set for life

nothing to change the course
stagnation begins to form
you dont even notice the change
your to set in your ways

stagnation begins to form
killing all in sight
everyday creeping closer to you
you dont even see it behind you

killing all in sight
stagnation changes your life
your routine set for life
now a pool of waves

stagnation changes your life
tossed boulders into your same
caused tidal waves of change
a tsunami that changed everything

“A single choice can build destinies,or destroy them.”

Another great poem Tiff, I really liked the repitition that used with the lines "everything always the same" and "a routine set for life". Anyway good job on the poem.

Well done on this one....not my fav, but still a good one.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Not bad Tiff.  I don't think this is as expressive as your other poems.  All in all a good read though.  thanks for sharing
