Change by Caroline

Hiding behind your curtain,
You feel ugly inside,
So many times you have wondered,
So many times you’ve cried,
Hurting from your past,
But affecting the present in which you reside,
You refuse to let go and change what’s deep inside,
Looking over your shoulder, recalling every scene,
Looking at others, your eyes filled envy with green,
You blame them all for what you’ve become,
Not reflecting that in the process it all seemed to be so fun,
Sitting there numb, dumb as your world tumbles down,
Sitting there in silence, not making a single sound,
I see now,
That you’re not sitting there alone,
As your demons hunt you, putting on a show,
I see now,
That you’re not sitting there hiding but wanting to be found,
You feel like you can’t change this life that you are living now,
You’ve lost control and cant start forgiving,
Yourself, you’ve put change on a shelf,
It’s something you feel you can’t reach,
But I’m here to teach,
You,
That change doesn’t come over night,
You have to fight,
Cos in the long term you will see the light,
Bright as the day you arose,
In the new place you now call home,
My child, my darling, to change you don’t need to be alone
