  poems for a new tomorrow

on the other side

 life always looks greener

till you're on the other side

and it hurts you to keep the status quo

when you remain on the same, same ride

could it be?  Things would be better

or is it just that you haven't tried?

but you'll never know the answer

till you’re on the other side

why is that side so interesting?

why is that side so grand?

does it really have such magnitude

or have you just not had to take the stand?

and when you do, how will it be?

till then, you'll never know

but unless you've learned in your life before

there will be nothing more to show

but there's a chance, a chance that you can make

that things can change this time

but only if you can learn from the past

and make everything "ours" not "mine"

the difference in those two little words

seems insignificant at first glance

but inevitably will spell the difference

if you're crazy enough to take the chance

life always looks greener

till you're on the other side

and there you may discover

that the only change needed was to you inside
