Change

I want to change everything—

not out of hate for who I was,

but out of love for who

I’m finally brave enough

to become.

I’m tired of surviving days

that were meant to be lived.

Tired of shrinking myself

to fit places that never felt like home.

So I’ll start small—

a thought, a boundary, a choice.

And one by one,

the life I’ve been carrying

will learn how to let me go.

I don’t need to burn it all down.

I just need to stop building

on what was breaking me.
