This is a poem I wrote for one of my classes. It is based on the poem Yesterday by Jean Little.
Yesterday I was a child
Safe and sound in my parents’ arms
Without a care to weigh me down
Or a fear holding me back.
Possibilities and experiences waiting
Out each door
And with each step.
Yesterday I had no reason to cry.
Today I’m ‘grown-up’
My parents are hundreds of kilometers away
At night I lie awake worrying
Fears are a daily occurrence.
Possibilities and experiences surround me-
They overwhelm me-
Which way do I step?
Today it’s hard to not cry.
~change is inevitable~

when you're on your own
and you've lost your way
when the lights go out
i'll help to guide you
when you find the words
that are hard to say
when they all come out
i'll be beside you
change is inevitable, but somethings never will. you are never alon
