Change happens.
Maybe you invited it.
A churning-burning-yearning
grew inside you so strongly that
you could no longer shove it
back in so you took the step
that you thought would be
the bravest, biggest, boldest
step you could take and now
here you are
standing in your new life and
all the monsters come calling.
Or maybe it crashed down on you.
You thought everything was fine,
that life was going as usual,
that tomorrow would be
the same as today,
that you had it
pretty much sorted
and out of nowhere
it fell on you.
News you didn’t want to hear
turning you into
a person you didn’t want to be
complete with the life
you never thought you’d have but
here it is and
all the monsters come calling.
