Change

I once heard someone say,
If you don't change you do not grow,
But I waved the thought away.
For who were they to think they know.

I'd always stayed the same.
A heart that thrived within the cold,
And I had no desire to change,
At least that's what I had been told

But deep within my mind,
A thought grew slowly, bit by bit,
Until I felt trapped in my skin,
For it no longer seemed to fit

There's a whole world sitting out there,
Changing every single day,
that proves it's nothing to be scared of,
If you do it the right way.

For a day afraid to turn to night,
Will miss the silver moon,
And a flower that refuses change,
Will never get to bloom.

I had thought I was a thorn bush,
Only good for tearing clothes,
But if you do not dare to change,
You'll never find out you're a rose.
