Change

Written January 9, 2025

Ever since last year, I've changed

I don't remember who I was or what I did

I've lost 10 pounds since February

Someone told me it was because I skip meals

I do, but it helps me like myself

I've been a little less awkward

I've stopped wearing some clothes, rings, bracelets, necklaces, and makeup

Last year, maybe I knew things

I feel like I don't know anything anymore

I've been hating myself more

I've been telling people I'm busy as I lay in my bed

My heart has been broken

I've gotten new scars

I've shed more tears

I've gained more fears

Yeah, I'm different

I've changed

But is that bad?

Is that good?

We're all scared of change

That's because we don't want to seem stupid or weak

That's just the way of life
