Change

Change can be scary,

but it must be achieved.

Determination is the best tool

to change how we live.

If you are afraid to change,

that's okay.

Change isn't easy,

but it must be done.

You've trapped yourself

in a hole,

which you cannot climb out of.

People may tell you

not to change,

because you will be judged.

Let them judge you.

Let them think what they will.

They do not matter.

If they cannot accept

your most true self,

then they do not

deserve to know you.

You matter.

You can make a difference.

You can change the world.

You can make a change.

    Who doesn’t seem to care

  • If Only

    If only I’d never met you

    If only I had been stronger

    If only I had seen sooner

    Just how abusive you are

    If only I hadn’t let you

    Turn my life to ruin

    If only I hadn’t tried
