Change

Folder: 
Liz

I think I'm beginning to turn inside out

Things are finally going in the right direction

I look in the mirror and I like what I see

Never have I been pleased with my own relection

You don't like the difference that I'm starting to love

You want to remember me the way I used to be

But this change within me is something I need

Being angry and weak robbed me of my strength



I think I'm turning into something beautiful

There's a lot about me that I never knew

The change so far has been so wonderful

Yet it's sad to see your shell still encompasses you

I'm sorry I can't stay the same little girl

Or fight the transition I'm going through

Forgive me for wanting to better myself

And not falling into the continuous cycle you choose

This is a wonderful poem, full of meaning. Many people never reach the stage you have attained. And it is a necessary one. I love your introduction. I really enjoyed this.
