Changing me

Change is good, change is bad
Change depends on how I deal with it
Change is uncontrollable, it has a life of its own
Change is controllable; it all begins with choices I make

Change is now, change is here
Change is always, constant, forever
Change is painful, change is scary
Change is peaceful when I accept, embrace, surrender

Change is so expected, yet it throws me off guard
Comes in events, times, things, people who seem so fixed
Opens up doors to things I never knew existed
Closes paths that are yearning to be left behind

Change is exciting, change is freeing
Change is waiting at the next street corner
Change is a multitude of thoughts and emotions
All longing to be feel ‘normal’ again

Change inside is reflected outside
Change is the gap between all I am and all I want to be
Change is my companion, she walks along with me
Whispering in my ear the next secret to be.
