Change Is In the Air

Change is in the air
Its excitement and unease
Everything is moving
Except me

I say I want to grow
Like a perennial blooming from a vine
Reaching toward the sun
However; I fail time after time

The more I fret
The further away I seem to be
There’s no mistaking
It’s purely an emotional thing

My internal words burn my mind
Igniting feelings out of control
I feel helpless, yet fully aware
It’s my thoughts that make my life so

So when I learn to liberate my mind
The recurring perennials begin to bloom
Everything appears to change
Negative thoughts – there’s no room

Change is in the air
Excitement and unease
Everything is moving
Especially me
