The Ever Changing I

by Amy Niggel

I am no longer
who I thought I was
when I woke
only a few short hours ago
the interactions
with the children at work
have changed me
mad em realize how precious life is,
how adorable kids are
how innocence truly looks
and how incredibly NOT Read I am to have any!!
I am not the person I was when I left work
only a few short moments ago
The walk across campus
reminded me
that I am at a college
devoid of color
and slowly being robbed of the great people I know
and I was suddenly filled with the remorse of letting people walk out of my life with out telling them I love them.
I am not the same person I was when I started this poem,
just a few short (well maybe not really short) lines ago.
As I write I realize how much I have to do
and wonder why I am sitting here instead of doing it
and realizing I don't really care if it gets done
and realizing this will probably be another poem that just sits in a list and is never read unless I go begging people to do so.
This is a triumph of wasted time
a monument to the ever changing I.
