Everything changes
That's the one truth of life
Nothing is permanent
Things come and go all the time
Our wants and needs as they are now
Are not the same that they used to be
What was once a necessity
Could now be a burden
Or an obstacle
To true happiness

Do we have the perception
To recognize when this happens?
Are we aware enough of our true needs
To know when something no longer is?
Do we have the strength
To put those things aside
Instead of letting them drag us down?

Then there are the times
When you recognize yourself
As the obstacle
To another's happiness
The question becomes
Can you step aside?
Or do you continue to hold on
Selfishly
And deny them what they deserve?

I will not be an obstacle
Not to anyone
Not for anyone
No one should have to
Place their lives
Their happiness
On hold for fear of
Disappointing me
And if they do not have the strength
To tell me so
Then I will find it
Myself
Just something that I threw together last night. I hope you like it.
