Change

Summary:

The frustrating thing about change is that it takes time.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

I crave a lasting change
Yet embracing newness feels so strange

I lose count of the days
Where I say I’ll never slip into my old ways

None of my promises to myself are true
Not when old habits cling to my mind like glue

My hope lies in little, consistent efforts, and giving myself lots of grace
While living at my own pace, instead of treating growth like a race

I’ll get to the ideal me eventually, that much I know
So all that is left for me to do, is be patient while I grow.

Notes:

Of all the poems I've written so far, I am especially proud of this one! :D

It was inspired by how much my perspective towards personal growth has changed since my late teenage years.

I hope you liked this!
