Change

Often I try to stand still but fail.  Because everything shifts and moves.  Lifts me up the drops and catches me.  etches the results all over me.  And I come no closer to understanding.  Landing face first in a pool of new things.  Bringing me up and dropping me down.  Fading in and out.  And I try to see about how much has shifted.  I don't recognize my surroundings.

I think we all at some point try to remain still.  Try to remain in the comfortable and keep from spilling what we know and understand down the drain.  The result is the same everytime.  We get lost.  And bit by bit we try to piece ourselves back together again.  And whether or not we succeed, we have to repeat this process.

It seems we understand less and less, and we're left to guess about the changes that surround us.  It's like a machine we're trapped inside and lack the ability to turn off.  And we all try to break out but fail.  The ever-changing framework keeps us imprisoned.
