Exchange

A shift that occurs early for most and for a few it never may

A trend that happens frequently and is a disruption to any day

A consequence of an action that leaves many with broken hearts

The foundation begins to crumble as the structure falls apart

You can hear the voices carry listening while alone

You can feel the difference in the air due to the deeper tone 

The tears start to show as unanswered questions remain 

Being pulled in many directions defines the inception of emotional pain

New faces appear as changes start to take place

Smiles converted to frowns as happiness vanishes without a trace 

It’s hard growing up when you harbor all the shame

It seems that no one else will so we must accept the blame

What once began as a lifelong investment 

Has now turned into a damage assessment 

It seems easier to move on and leave the broken pieces behind 

As the events of yesterday are again replayed as we mentally press rewind 

The whirlwind of confusion sets its path to rearrange 

Everything seemed perfect until the implementation of this biweekly exchange
