Somewhere between now and then things changed.
Not talking about writing because it’s “uncool” turned
into published poetry. Wearing makeup to cover
“ugly” acne turned into the fact that imperfections
make us unique. Listening to “popular” music turned
into blasting my own music out the window unashamed.
Being afraid to “fail” turned into believing every experience
can teach me something new. Running away from my fears
turned into facing them head on. Being scared of my future
turned into working towards my dreams. Somewhere between
now and then I realized I only live once and I want to
savor every moment I can. Somewhere between now and
then I realized I wasn’t in my cocoon anymore, instead I knew
I was a butterfly flying towards my next adventure.
