A while back,

life was not unlike a video

captured only in time lapses.

I stood rooted, stock still

while all around me

the hustle and bustle

of everyday life

was a blur.

I was falling

against walls that i couldn’t see

screaming in voices that

even I couldn’t hear.

I had lost sight of the big picture.

It took me a while

to understand that

in order to keep moving forward, to grow

I had to keep my mind open to change.

There were days that i fell back,

drained, resenting everything new.

But slowly each step became

an inspiration for the next.

Change is how we see our dreams, our futures

To stop fighting change

is the best way to power forward

living life to the fullest.

I understand now that life IS change.
