Why I Wrote It: *

It's retrospective. I had just finished writing something about my past. That is where this came from. I guess I am talking about the frustration of change, changing myself, fighting that change. It's a tough thing to do, I guess for anybody...

I had the first two lines show up at breakfast, no pen, so I borrowed a pen and wrote them on a scrap of newspaper until I could get back and write it out.
