anticipation
6:09:00 PM
the crickets are chirping
as if in wait
for something
about to begin
they’re not wrong.
i’ve had to sacrifice things
to get here
one of which
my soul
for something greater
to live inside me.
i’ve always hated change
but it’s proven itself
to be not all bad
though pain does indeed
have to come first
sometimes.
i almost
anticipate change now
and this is perhaps the biggest change of all
but i’m not afraid.
after all
if He’s carrying me
how can i not
make it through?
and not just survive through
but live through
and come out
bolder
brighter
on the other side.

i start college tomorrow. wooo!

Very lovely! I love how it seems like a dark, mysterious poem but in the end there's a happy undertone
