## 🧠 ABOUT THE PROCESS
I transformed my original poem by adapting it into lyrics that were then used for a song generated using Suno, featuring my voice. Below you’ll find part of the original poem, the revised lyrics, and the musical version.
## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM
From dragons and ancient codes of valour to the fragile truth of our own humanity, Counting my Changes asks what remains when strength, youth and glory begin to fade. Perhaps courage lies not in being formidable, but in keeping certain values alight — tolerance, compassion, truth — and turning our weaknesses into something brighter. Small changes, small change, pennies catching the sun: a daily reckoning with the person we are still becoming.
Dragon creed Our wings are shelter For the weak Our souls meek We shun the glitz and glitter Though we’re born of stars
[Verse] We shun the glitz and the glitter Dragon creed, our wings are shelter for the weak; we relieve their scars Our souls meek, though we’re born of stars
[Verse] We have none left to assuage The old code is more than adage not mere tale or words to decode Past glory that time may erode
[Verse] Soul swollen, Eternal homage Bursts in me forgotten image Now forgotten I do not flee the waking moments thwarted plea
[Verse] Bosoms bare the heart of thunder The shield is but for the feud’s blunder This tale has no destiny’s spear Yet you still wonder why no fear
[Chorus] They shine slight, She innerves them light Tolerance brings more than foresight Within their brittle light I bask Counting my changes, Daily task
[Verse] Knave and lewd, they gather hell’s fire The rakes fallen spew desire There is a riddle I admire She says it on Nile to enquire
[Verse] We crawl slow then we stand proud, tall before the age and fate’s dark weight curb within us the springy gait and three are our legs before fall
[Verse] We cover our humanity and our incredible frailty Saucy words, Weapons of the mind Invisibility’s cloak shrined
[Verse] There is truth in between the lies where we find Redemption in sighs Overhauling weaknesses spun into bright Pennies in the sun
[Chorus] They shine slight, She innerves them light Tolerance brings more than foresight Within their brittle light I bask Counting my changes, Daily task

This piece has been interpreted across multiple musical styles using Suno, exploring how the same lyrics evolve through Cinematic, Indie and Trip-Hop influences.
I have not included a YouTube song yet because I am making this poem a song which I will include once I have sung it and in fact it started out like a song in my head before I wrote it as a free verse poem. Bear with me because I am not a singer but would really like to get this melody and the lyrics out there because it made me feel good so I thought it might help others feel good too
This was recorded as a memo on my phone because my usual camcorder was not working. Be kind and constructive with your criticism 😀
