Coward In Change Poem by Sana Olivia Hernandez

Things are the same,
But I'm barely sane.
For a long time now,
I've played the same old game.
But if that were to change?

Though I say routine,
Can make me scream.
For years now it's been,
The only thing I've seen.
Yet I don't scream.

I've had the same dream,
Far different from reality,
Because reality,
Is terrifying to me.
Does it have to be?

I walk in circles all around,
For six years I've been,
In the same old town.
What now?

When was it exactly,
That I planned to leave?
To escape the cruelty.
I'd of done anything.

But things have gotten better,
And I need to know.
Is it better in the Sun,
Or worse in the snow?

But I don't know.
I'm a coward in change…
