By Danielle Holian
change starts with me
as I unravel myself
from the generational curse chains
and begin to offload
slowly grounding myself
in an outstanding manner
knowing I’m worth it
repeating affirmations
as this is all new to me
as all I have ever known
is the reckless manners of life
to test me many times
and I fail
I want to grow beyond what’s expected
I want to see the world in bright lights
rather than a dull delight
I want to sing and dance in the rain
without being drenched in pain
I want to glow and feel the heat of the sun
on my pale skin
rather than being locked away inside
with my only company being depression
by my side along with the anxious disruptions
that consume my every move
freezing me in time
I want to melt away
and escape the foolish selfishness
of the wicked
and remember my purpose:
change starts with me.
