Changing Poem by Alicia Renea Carpenter

I’m pushing the edges of reality
I’m changing everything around me

I wonder what I will become
How will I change?

Will it be big or small?
Will it be life altering?

But the biggest thing
Is will you still care about me?

Will you still be my number one?
Will you still love me?

Will you accept the new me?
Or push me away and forget about what we have?

But I can’t let that stop me
I have to do this for me

I can’t let fear stop me
I can’t let you stop me

I want to do this for me.
Not for anyone else

All I can hope for
Is that you still love me

But I won’t let that stop me.
I won’t let you hold me back
