Change

Woke up in the same old shirt Coffee stain on the front from June Thought I’d outrun that version of me But he still lives in my room Caught my face in the bathroom mirror Tilted head like “who are you? Same eyes But the plans look different Like they finally slipped the rules Change Creeping in quiet In the way I talk In the way I drive Same street But the turns feel lighter Same shirt Different sky If I stay I’ll stay in motion Let the old scenes blur behind Change I don’t have to chase it It’s already in my life Phone full of the friends I ghosted Typed “how are you?” then hit send Heart doing that scared little stutter Waiting on a typing bubble again Cleaned out all my just‑in‑case things Boxed the “maybe one day” shoes Left some space on the bedroom carpet For a future walking through Change Creeping in quiet In the way I talk In the way I fight Same words But the tone feels kinder Same name Kinder mind If I stay I’ll stay in motion Let the old fears fall behind Change I don’t have to chase it It’s already in my life Maybe it’s not fireworks Maybe it’s dishes done on time Answering my dad on the first ring Letting old grudges die Change Creeping in quiet In the way I laugh In the way I try Same heart But it beats much lighter Same road Wider lines If I stay I’ll stay in motion Leave that old ghost at the light Change I don’t have to chase it It’s already in my life
