Journey Into Change

The Road Less Traveled

**A Journey Within**

In the quiet of the night,

When shadows softly blend,

I search for the spark of light,

To guide my heart to mend.

Once I wore silent mask,

Hiding dreams beneath my skin,

But change to softly ask,

“Will you let the journey in?”

With every step, I shed the past,Like leaves that fall, so bold,

Each moment carved, each die cast,

A story waiting to be told.

I danced through fear, embraced the pain,

Glimmers of hope lit the way,

Through storms of doubt, through joy and rain,

I found the strength to sway.

The mirror now reflects a face,

With lines of wisdom, light of grace,

I’ve learned that growth comes not in haste,

But in the patience of the race.

So here I stand, anew awake,

With open arms, I face the dawn,

Each breath a promise, each choice I make,

In the rhythm of change, I’ve found my song.

Embrace the ebb, embrace the flow,

In every heart, a seed to sow,

For change is life, and life is change,

In this dance of time, I’ll rearrange.

With courage growing in my chest,

I walk the path that feels like home,

For in the journey, I am blessed,

And in this change, I freely roam.

Happy to travel alone

Understanding it’s not the path

The journey makes me grow

Stronger for first mile to the last.
