Ch-ch-ch-changes

I turned a year older
on July 22 now I’m 5’3″
and I go to Skinner West
I got two brothers and
a Mom and a Dad
I have a PSU and play
2K

yesterday I had a whole tooth
and today I chipped my tooth.

I changed a lot over one year.
First I only knew how to swim a 25 free
style in 35 sec now I can do it in 15 sec!
I changed a lot in 1 year?

Ever since I was little I was
energetic. Always happy, and smart.
I loved to play sports like
I do now. I used to go
to a school called Blaine. Now
since kindergarten I am in
Skinner. When I was little I
played soccer, football, and basketball.
Now I play basketball and soccer.
I grey a lot. In first grade
I was 3 feet 11 inches. In 2nd
grade I was 4 feet 2 inches. In
3rd grade I was 4 feet
5 inches. Now I am 4 feet 7 inches.
I was very little. Now I
am stronger and taller.

A year
ago I felt like
I wasn’t ready for 4th
grade. Going all
the way back when I
was a baby I did not
know anything but
now I do.

I am smarter
I am faster
I am more intelligent
I am stronger
I work harder
I push harder
I root more
I have grown
I am taller
I will not stop getting better.
By the way I am still growing
now.

I haven’t changed at all
know all the same stuff
do all the same things
I haven’t changed at all.

5 years ago
I was short

4 years ago
I grew a little taller

3 years ago
I grew a lot stronger

2 years ago
I got a little smarter

1 year ago
I was in 3rd grade

15 minutes ago
I wasn’t writing this poem

I liked
pizza
but now
I don’t
like it,
I love
it. I
also used
to read
but I
still read.
I used
to like
movies
but
I don’t
anymore.
I love
it. I
used to
dislike
homework
but I
still
dislike
like.
You better
like this
poem.
I like
tacos.

Too much
too much
too much
knowledge
means…
No
school

I didn’t have this
now I do

I didn’t have that
now I do

I didn’t have those
now I do

I didn’t have these
now I do

From the future, looking down
you see
2 seconds ago
I wrote the P in my name.
5 years ago, I learned to walk,
and read
and write and
draw
and the time before that
I cannot remember
so don’t ask.
But if you question
reality, the origin, faith,
you notice
this world
is from
the past,

looking up.

When I was a small little boy, only
2 years of age, I was reading books, every page.
My parents thought I was as smart as a sage!

I learned that time goes on and on,
and most people were going to be a mom!
I learned about Heaven and Heck, and I
hope that I wasn’t in a spell.

In the library is my real heaven to
me, I live there, practically and in
reality!

But one day I was stuck with
you guys, and I have books every-
where.

People say that it is a waste of time,
and they might be right, but
I do it anyway!

In the past I was the shortest the weakest
and other things now all of that is the
opposite I’m so tall I’m like 4’5″ now
I used to be 3’7″ I can do military pushups!

From this to that that
to this I am sad I am
mad this to that

We can change by age we can
change by color
it’s not racist

dark people get darker or
burnt
light people get a
tan.

We change by height foot
size clothing and good
or bad.

And people can change to
light to light up the world.

My grades were bad in 3rd now
4th grade they are good A and B’s.

How you change
you act fine
to read books

so you can
become smart
to 3 grade to
4 grade.

Smaller to bigger
sidekick to burglar (not true haheha)

sous chef to chef
lonely to 4 friends

long hair to short hair

smart to brilliant
crazy to crazier

fun to funny
bad artist to bad artist

short to short
no fashion to fashionista

don’t eat clams to eat clams
no glasses to no glasses

(my name) Tahlia to Tahlia (ta leah)

not able to do backhandspring to
I GOT MY BACKHANDSPRING

This is the poem of billions, bad PRESIDENT,
no good GOVERNMENT

PEOPLE getting SHOT

Even before was BAD

The GREAT DEPRESSION
THE PRESIDENTs were BAD at that
TIME
so you see there’s
always going to be something BAD

but we will get there
SOMETIME…

I have changed
by.

I turn from a
baker to a
baker and
cook

I have reunited with
my friends

but I am still me and
nothing’s going
to change
that

3rd grade
red hair secret dancer very shy

4th grade
purple hair, great dancer

not that shy
smart and strong and
very athletic

I used to be small
but now I am big
I used to be quiet
but now I am loud
I used to be gloomy
but now I am all happy
I used to play with toys
but now I never
I used to do this and I used
to do
that
but now I changed and that is
just how I am.

3rd grade was
basically the great
depression of my life
(no, seriously, it was terrible)
but I’ve changed
in many ways to be
exact

I got taller by 2 inches
so did my personality &
intelligence
plus my skills
in athletic
achievement
like basketball,
track, and stuff

But that doesn’t
matter
at least I grew.

It wasn’t hard at Budlong in
3rd grade.

I was sad when I transferred.

Budlong to Skinner.

But I was happy to have new
friends and happy to have my old
friends.

I was sad to happy.

I have changed by me knowing more
stuff and my height and age.
And I didn’t like to read now
I love to.

hungry—>starving

sad—>mad

shorter—>taller

less knowledgable—>smarter

sleep—>awake

clothes—>PANTS

DON’T go through
the trapdoor,

It’s dangerous.

There are serpents

Burning wood

Bows and arrows

Swordsmen

DON’T go through
the trapdoor

Hmm, how have I changed? I honestly don’t know. Wait,
I do know! I’ve grown taller, I’ve become smarter.

Change…what you were in the past and what you are in
the present. I’ve changed by becoming more mature during the
years have gone by. Changing could be good or bad.

I loved myself now I hate myself.

I changed when I got
blown up! I changed because
I look different.

I’ve changed my life how
going on spring break

5 years ago I had a 4 pack and
now I have an 8 pack couple of years ago
I liked pizza now I don’t.

Don’t walk into the bakery you will get
full very fast you want
something else then you will
find someone you don’t like.
Walk out and you will
feel mixed up.

This is REAL

When I was 6, I was scared of dogs.

And now I have a dog.

I was happy
I was sad
I am upset
I’m glad
I am mad
Now I’m OK

Have you ever changed in personality? I have I
used to be sassy but now I’m not. I know you over
there wouldn’t agree. Did you know that we have a
math test tomorrow? I know you over there don’t.
If you haven’t noticed you are like the future unpredictable
on how you are going to act today

I was sad
Now I’m mad

Then I feel bad
I want my dad

I’m me nad
I’m feel aad

And now I’m just
making up words

I’m happy
I’m sad
I’m mad
I’m calm
I’m hysterical
I’m calm

I used to not have glasses, but now I
do!
Or
do
I?
I just remembered that I forgot
to bring my
glasses to
school!!
so now I don’t have
glasses…or
do
I?
DUN
DUN
DUN!

I have changed
Or have I changed?
I don’t remember if I have changed
Oh yeah! I remember.
Oh wait I forgot
OMG I changed!!!!

I used to see the world not through my eyes, or
heart but instead my head then I saw it through
my eyes now I see it through a foggy glass cup only
half full cool or not I’ve sought out a difficult
life of broken dreams & dark days & that’s how
I will forever stay & see the world like so.

I have changed
but not much

I’ve changed only as I grew older
but really
I’m no
different than
before
I’m me
not you
I’ve changed but
not much

I used to be wearing pajamas
now I am wearing a hoodie and jogging pants

Look at the skies
so bright and blue
I would not see
with eyes blind hurt

I thought I could
live but I was
wrong with the thought
I need hope joy

Soon I found that
I love my new
them they are perfect
for me and eyes

I used to be the
shortest person in

my class. Now I’m
not that short.

I sucked my pacifier
till I was about 3.

Now, I like hard
candies because

they remind me of
my pacifier.

I barely wore
diapers. Now

I don’t use
one. (I’m a big

kid now.)
