Bittersweet Changes – Poetry

Happy Friday! Here is a poem I wrote that reflects my feelings around leaving the comfort of my family and friends behind. When we’re faced with big changes, overwhelming emotions stir up. But every fresh chapter holds the path to an invigorating, new, wonderful journey…

Bittersweet Changes

When I was little 
I never quite planned 
The puzzling path of life
Where in the world I stand 

Never trembled with panic
When met with fear 
My parents consoled me
Wiping off my tear 

As I grow up and older
My emotions surge too
There are times I feel 
Like I don’t know what to do 

When I run into problems 
I’m drowned in doubt  
Like nothing will get better 
As if there’s no way out 

But as I leave my home 
Looking up to the sky
I’m a bird set free 
All ready to fly 

With every ounce of courage 
I step out the door 
A world full of opportunities 
I can’t wait to explore 

When we’re faced with changes 
Some are bittersweet 
But when we learn to embrace 
We shall grow gracefully
