Self Change

Change is always a scary thing.
The scariest type of change to see or feel is self change.

Self change can hurt.
Letting them go, starting new
The good things that come and go

But bad change, seeing that change,
That change is terrifying.
Going to the mirror you don't recognize your own smile.

You are beyond yourself
You watch the tears stream down a face you don't know.

You want to help them but you are them and you can't change you.
