Changing is Easier Than You Think


For some reason, people think it is impossible to change While I have honestly found it to be easy, As it has happened multiple times Over a the short lifetime of fourteen years When I was younger I was just A run-of-the-mill child, obsessed with toys and fun and snow Always ready for some kind of fun Even though I cried sometimes At the simplest of things Then a year passed by sooner than expected, And the reflection I had changed From run-of-the-mill To a lonely little one who read of adventure quieter then a church mouse as others pushed me away And never let me play If I even wanted to This was the limbo in which I lived for years Not really existing compared to others, Until suddenly I decided to exist But went about it all the wrong ways And did more harm than good Chasing possible friends away But what kind of people were they If they couldn't accept someone A little different than them? What I was after that is what I am today, And while words are my greatest solace, It is now much more appealing to write out My own words for others to enjoy For I have no greater thrill Then seeing people affected by what I write for them or about them It would take a total fool to think That I have not changed as I grew I know each day that I am about To change into something new quite soon And though I do not know what Exactly what will change It will be easy as all the others before it And so it shall be to the end of my days
