Revolution

This started out as song lyrics my sister and I wrote together in the mid-1980s, and I used the title when I wrote a poem in the early 1990s. When I re-read the poem a few years back, I didn't like how it had turned out. I wrote this version of the poem on September 28, 2009, and it's from the point of view of a speaker who is coming to understand that they need to make a change in their life.


It's time from an upheaval in my life
Regardless of any strife
It's time to bring an end to foolish notions
And to stop simply going through the motions


And now I'm beginning to understand
I need to believe in who I am
It's time I stopped doubting myself anymore
An internal revolution is in store
