Season of Change

Change of season infers to the change a person goes through growing up. 'Leaves turn from plain green to vivid colors of gold and red,' this portrays the changes the body goes through. The 2nd paragraph shows how it can be 'mesmerizing' to some people, and some may find it exciting to grow up and go through them changes in life. 'I had no idea how to become that person' Some may struggle to grow up because they like how they are now and haven't convinced there personality to grow up yet.

'I'm falling,

 I am falling.

I am the fall.'- its structured like this for many reasons; the drop down to the next line below actually portrays the fall of the leaves from the tree. It also structures the writers feelings of the changes.'i'm falling' is the first realization of it then the continued falling of the words portray a further realization of the changes the writers going through in life. Hense why the words are structured like this.

'No control or desire was great enough to stop this' simply means you cannot control growing up. 

'Some say its the start of a new beginning' - (Some people think you've got your whole future ahead of you)

'I believe it’s the end of a sunny life

And the start of a dying future'. - whereas my intake on it is that its the end of having a care free life, to finally doing things for yourself.

'That's how it struck autumn for me' Is the power line that in a whole brings in the understanding that this is it' its actually happening now and i cannot change this.

'How do I know best? I am still stuck on the days of being summer.' Children do not know best as they grow up that's why adults teach them right from wrong, yet nobody teaches you what exactly to do when your adult, nobody warns you that once you hit a certain point in your life, you can never go back.

'I wasn't afraid to be different though others were afraid that I was' This relates to life in general, it portrays that you should be yourself and always show the child inside of you, yet if you did that it might get grief for it from others eg, childish behavior, you need to grow up. Those remarks that make you not show how you really was and forgetting that there's a child inside each of you.

'My beauty wasn't afraid to be seen - nor was the autumn to tired for a show.' My childishness wanted to come out, from showing acts of childish behavior, just like my body wants to become an adult/ the tres want to change to autumn.

Suddenly is on its own line and with an exclamations mark for a reason, the change from being a child to being an adult suddenly hits you and becomes real, from being looked after to all of a sudden  having to do things on your own.

'I'll miss having my branches being treated to my every need. Being nurtured and cared for like no other tree' this simply means being young you get looked after and you don't realize how much you depend on the person who takes care of you.

'I soon had to take the step-

         and fall from the tree.' The drop down of the line means the step off the that you take, the leaves having to fall off the tree metaphorical portray the big step you take from being a child to an adult. 'My memories of green will still flow through my leaves.' Symbolizing that you'll never forget the memories of being a child.

 'the fear of change didn't stop me from the love I have of becoming autumn.' it sounds like the writer all of a sudden loves autumn, that's not the case. It simply means that you get used to it and 'Nor did it stop me from fulfilling my life in summer' means you have to become autumn because you don't have a choice of falling from the tree (becoming an adult) you'll always have the memories of being a child (being in summer) and everyone will always have a child inside of them.
