This was a poem written by me back in my freshman year. Poetry is not my strong suit at all, but I love consuming it. I have so many poetry books and enjoy reading everyone else’s pieces. However, I wanted to share this because the seasons are changing and it’s becoming brighter out. I feel like when the spring comes or even the change from spring to summer it changes my mood. I feel like the seasons play a role in my life and these words slightly capture that.
It’s about that time
Where the sun starts to shine brighter
The warmth on my skin does something to me
All my problems become smaller
All I can think about is now
It’s time to take responsibility for my life
No one to blame but me
It’s time to change myself for the better
It all starts with me
Once I do everything will align
The days will feel more fulfilling
I’ll feel whole again
The better I become
The better I attract
When I found this in my saved files I felt like I took a time machine back to what felt like longer than three years ago. While this might not sound like the seasons changing is what I meant it was. It’s easy to place the blame on everything else in life but I think when the atmosphere around me feels what I consider more positive it’s easier to look at the negative things in your life and be like wow. I really can fix or change some of it myself. All of that just to say you have to start somewhere even if you don’t see the progress you want right away.
