She's Changed

by Connie   Feb 3, 2007


She was always so kind to others
Ready to give a helping hand
Had such a positive caring attitude
A genuine smile and warm hand.

She cusses, screams, rants on and on
At the people she cares about most...
Eventually she will lose these precious loved ones
Because the person she once was is gone.

I know this person personally
For this is all about me...
Although I truly hate "me" now
I don't know how to change.

My hubby says I just need to calm down
There's no way he can understand
I try ~ I do try so very hard but...
Every step I take forward, I fall two back.

My grandsons are gonna grow to fear me,
If they don't already, that is...
They deserve to be treated with love and respect
The way I "shout" that I want them to treat me.

My sister will quit calling, or stopping by
She has to be sick and tired of hearing me
I tell myself not to go there the next time
But over and over I do it!

I really dislike the person I've become
Somehow I must learn to control it
One day I'll wake up and be all alone
For those that I love will have gone.

    I really enjoyed reading this poem a lot because I can relate to it. I was thinking about writing a poem about myself and how I dont like who I've become but you did a great job here.. sometimes things happen in life that change the way we see things or people and we cant help it.. you did an amazing job writing about this and your words really pull the reader into your poem to feel what you are feeling.

    amazing job! 5/5 and thanks for the comment!

    I love this one because I can relate to it. I know someone like this, and it's weird for me to read something so well written about it. Great job. =]

    Your use of the word 'hubby' in the 4th stanza completely threw me off.

    I liked the story behind but it honestly just sounds like a rant about an old woman who hates herself and wants to change and isnt going to. I didn't really feel the heartache and pain of the narrator, so it seemed like a boo-hoo story than a 'will you help me' poem.

    Use more punctuation. The '~' you used were kinda odd because I've never seen anyone use that in a poem before.

    Overall, the poem was decent. It wasn't my favorite but I wouldn't burn it either lol.
