Summary

This quote highlights the inherent resistance or reluctance we might have towards change, despite its inevitable nature in the passage of time. While everything around us transforms in various ways, there is an element within us that remains constant.

Closing up. Finally spent.You are gone.And now you're moving along.Heavy now. Tears remain.Hard pressed to rest.When all I feel like is a mess.Now, don't you worry your head.You're not my one and only friend.And I don't need you anymore.To leave me bruised and broken on the floor.You left me bruised. You left me broken.You left me bruised. You left me broken.
