Have I Changed?

Have I changed?
Yes, I think I have.
But not many people knew this
For they had encountered me
When I was then young and angry
Struggling against hurt and pain
Unable to enjoy the youthful days of my life.

Have I changed?
Yes, I think I have.
I'm no more young or angry
But senescent, and probably a bit sanguine
Having found peace or solitude with my writings,
To enjoy a simple, carefree but exciting life.

Have I changed?
Yes, I think I have
I thank the Lord
For my having discovered writing
Which  has made me a better person
To enjoy the twilight years of my life.

There is nothing noble about being superior to other men.
The true nobility is being superior to your previous self.
