The
Change
It's late tonight
and
I can't sleep...
my thoughts unwillingly
on something deep
Why, I ask
am I so scared of
change
thinking it's an
obstacle
or something strange
I feel the tightness
in my chest
I try to push the
thoughts aside...
trying my best
Will leaving the
familiar
expose my soul
leaving me vulnerable
as a whole?
Can I not look upon
it
as a new beginning
a chance to reinvent
and uplift my whole
being?
Even trying to think
only pleasant thoughts
won't uplift my
soul
or push aside the
remorse
All I can do
is hope and pray
that God will take
all my cares away.
