Change

Life can be full of struggles and fears.... This is about how my present will not be run by my past...

I grew up alone with my anger, my fears 
Always hiding from the truth 
Trying to stay ahead of my tears 
But I'm seeing new for the first time 
I don't have to run anymore, I won't 
I'm not changing what I do 
I can't change what I've done 
But I can change who I am

I know you can...and you will!....beautiful ,full either hope ...love it

[Revery]

All so true and a starting place most poets find. As you get to know other poets you we blown away how we have said words like this in some shape or form. My original Dreamers Reverie has some of these same feelings. This is a great expression of what your coming to know of yourself.

Beautifuly expressed. Each new day is an opportunity to become theperson you strive to be. Excellent.

[Ramya]

Short and powerful. There is such a wonderful optimistic air around the last four lines that gives a positive jolt to me, a healthy revelation.
Very good piece.

[Suditi]

Such a meaningful poem.
There are so many times, when we screw up our present because of our past.. And it doesn't even mean anything.. It is not worth it.
It's a really beautiful thought. Stop running from your fears, tears. And just be. Wherever you are, just be. With a change in perception, life can make sense.
Hope to read lots more from you. :)
