What I Would Change


Change.

To change oneself; what a contriversial issue.

"Never change yourself" they say.

"Be yourself" as if that was the only way.

But I disagree.

For we all change.

Change for the better.

Change can be a great change.

I would change myself if I could.

I would stand up, shout out, and speak.

I would say what was on my mind,

Not let it hide.

I would say what I think was right.

I would not be afraid.

I would say without worry of being judged

As long as it was the right thing to say.
