Two years ago

About two years ago,
I joined YWP. 
About two years ago,
I began sixth grade.
About two years ago,
I walked through 
the halls of the 
middle school,
quiet,
unsure of how to act,
unsure of how to feel. 
But now,
that is different.
The world has changed,
and I have, too. 
These changes may 
seem minute,
they may seem 
quite large,
but even so,
everything,
in about as many ways as possible,
has been tweaked.
And I am happy
that I have changed.
I am happy that I can 
walk with confidence,
that I can write with words,
sentences,
I would have never been able to 
put together.
That I can stay strong,
that I can be resilient,
while still sensitive. 
I am glad that my life has changed,
for it gives me challenges,
but still offers me
perspective.
