The art of my life repainting
My heart beating at a different rhythm
Body breathing in a different pattern
Reflection shows a changed person
Adapting, adjusting, bearing burdens
Am I here, or is it someone unknown?
Am I veiled, hiding the human of old?
Changes are taking me to exquisite places
I am learning from experiences and changes
Making me cry or making me sing,
I am no longer the person I was before
Adjusting is the trait I once bore
Up, down, I’m spinning all around
Flying high, falling to the ground
I am alien to myself and others now.
The process is ending, now I am changed
I may differ, but I’m not strange
Now I am a dreamer who achieves
Now I am a believer who believes
No dual sides, just one human
Leaving shadows, turning towards the sun
Accept the modifications to life
For with changes, I will strive.
