Good Change
I breathe
As I swallow the lump building in my throat
From all of the stress and anxiety
I’ve experienced
Within the past month
I’ve gone through numerous changes
Learned things about myself
And learned things about other people
Things I wish I’d known a long time ago
I’m at a new place in my life
Where the energy of other people
Really affect me
So I’ve opened up
And welcomed myself to new experiences
I know I’m in a very good place
All of this change
Is good change because
I have big dreams
Big dreams I need to fulfill
I don’t need negative energy
And I don’t need bad influences Everything feels so new
Change can be overwhelming
Especially when it’s unexpected
This is good change
Good change for me
And an opportunity to start over brand new

I've recently experienced a lot of change within the past month. I broke up with a long-time boyfriend and started attending community college while still in high school. I am beginning my college career and it's very scary because everything I do now will effect my future.
