Still Me
Sometime between then and now
A depressing look at life turned to
A view full of endless possibilities and positivity.
Dull songs turned
Vibrant and colorful.
Poems full of incredible sadness turned to
Sweet words gushing honey from my lips.
Hair in a high ponytail turned to
Neatly combed curly hair let free.
Trying to flee the county turned to
Becoming frightened to leave everything for college.
Hopes and dreams being crushed turned to
Realizing that it wasn’t meant for me.
No jewelry turned to
Many rings, and bracelets; made with love.
Always staying inside turned to
Becoming a camp counselor for all of June.
Being in no after-school activities turned to
Volleyball, FFA, Archery, Student Council; and even President of my own club.
Reading manga books turned to
Books full of poetry from the heart.
Petrified of public speaking turned to
My favorite competition in FFA.
My life has changed, yes it has,
But one thing is for sure: I’m still me.
I still
Love Minecraft;
Just like I did before.
Love writing poems;
Just like I did before.
Love animals;
Just like I did before.
Love musicals;
Just like I did before.
Even though things have changed,
I still am the same girl as before.
Just taller, and wiser too;
I didn’t see it then, but I grew.
