Difference

Do something different-
It makes a difference;
Nothing can ever
Be the same.

Some folks just love to give, and I’d love it too,
But I’d really just love to have something to give.
I’d just love to give my heart,
but I haven’t got the heart to give.
I’d give you a piece of my mind, but….
Give it time and in time I’ll give,
but I just haven’t got the time.

repetition

It's kind of hypnotic, and your rhythm is good!
I feel like the stanzas don't have much to do with each other, though. What do you mean by nothing can ever be the same?

Very interesting.

Theme and variation

In music we do this. We take a theme and keep adding different variations with each subsequent pass. Jazz musicians especially have mastered this.

I liked it. It was hypnotic.

Dear Johnny Two Birds

To me this feels like a story from long ago. Retold and with each telling it changes form. A mantra of sorts.

Really well done!!

Nice to meet you

Kind regards Jayne-Chloe
