Born Again
I am the child of change, adopted by many.
From the intense fusion of hope and desire, I was born.
The many who fostered me, became me
Moulded by the hands of happiness and memories in the sun,
Shaped by the sharp blades of misery,
This is what I have become.
Yet, I say to you, I am missing a limb
With every passing moment in time, I am born anew.
With something missing, agreed
But not without a memory in the vault of thought.
The mother of change has brought unto me
A sense of reality, almost extinct in this make-shift world,
Where no one lasts, except my mother.

Your welcome and don't worry about some people not excepting it. Some people won't, but that doesn't mean your poetry is bad. Its just their opinion ;P
Change is the only constant in this world, and that's what I was trying to put across. You may want to forget those you have hurt you, but they've changed you nonetheless. They've made you who you are.
