Changes

by Heather Tydings

Changes

hurdling me

against a wall,

Knocking the breath

out of me,

Making me fall into a confused

slump

in a corner,

groping in the

dark

for answers to

the questions

that keep haunting me.

Smashing my easy,

little girl

fantasies and dreams,

forcing me out of

my now safe

corner,

to make

life-long decisions.
