Changes

My life is a mess
Its’ all torn apart
Worried and flustered
I need a fresh start.

The world is scary
A place that is rough
I must move forward
I have to be tough.

Unhappy with me
I try and I try
To make things better
I just sit and cry.

Many changes due
And that is a fact
I’ll take every step
Without looking back.

It won’t be easy
I’ll have to go slow
To conquer my tasks
And reach that last goal.

Be true to myself
One day at a time
It’s like a ladder
I’ll just have to climb.

That very first step
Is hardest of all
Afraid of the hurt
Afraid of the fall.

I know I’ll make it
There’s no stopping me
I’m on my mission
And I will be free.
