'If there was just one thing I could change'

"If there was just one thing I could change."

If I could change just one thing,
It would be the way I see,
I'd change my perspective,
And find a better me.

I'd change my attitude,
And learn to let things go,
I'd stop sweating the small stuff,
And let my spirit flow.

I'd change my habits,
And make better choices,
I'd embrace life's challenge,
Like I embrace my pillow when I sleep.

I'd open my heart,
To all the possibilities,
I'd let myself be vulnerable,
And feel true empathy.

I'd look for the good,
In all that I do,
I'd stop dwelling on the negative,
And focus on the view.

I'd change my perspective,
And see the beauty,
In every single moment,
In life's sweet poetry.

I'd change my perspective,
And see the light,
I'd let it guide me,
And everything would be right.

Congrats on your placement! I was hoping someone would write an awesome entry with this sub theme, ie, the need for change to start with me, one heart at a time
