Change

When I was 14

I had a best friend

With long brown hair and freckles

And a laugh that could make anyone smile.

Now I’m 17 with a

Best friend with brown hair,

Freckles, an infectious laugh,

But they’re different people.

Oh, how the world changes.

Nostalgia/Closure

Pain

Heartbreak

Anxiety

Fear

I wait for the day to come when I will no longer call this place home

Time seems to move faster as we grow older

There is so little time left

The devotion forges connections that hurt to break

But time brings change

Change brings new life and a new point of view

I can’t wait for the day when I will go out and make a new place home

Delight

Rebirth

Anxiousness

Excitement

The Chase

An assemblage of phrases poem

Life is hard, then you die

but don’t give up,

   don’t surrender.

shake it out

         go for it

             just add water

Like old friends

         never fade,

         ever since we met

I’ve been in the pursuit of happiness

and I’m loving it.

Don’t regret,

              it’s always darkest before the dawn

How poetic. How pathetic.

I heard your heart beating

to its own beat;

fragile, handle with care.

Lay me down,

this side up.

                                  What the water gave me:

a deep breath,

a great value,

    a change of pace.

Pain is inevitable

                                 faith is trusting for everything

                                 hope is trusting for the future

                               love is forever.
