Change.

I was someone who didn't care. Selfish.
I remember locking myself in my room-- hiding from the world
I heard my sister sobbing. Slamming her bedroom door.
I saw my mother crying, her face slick with tears.
I worried about the fate of my family
I thought I would end up just the same as the rest of them-- broken.

But I want change.

I am-- in general-- happy with my life
I think the world needs to change.
I need to be that change.
I try to help others and be selfless
I feel grateful.
I forgive my parents... My whole entire family.

Now I can change.

I will be someone that people look up to-- considered a hero.
I choose to smile at someone on the street. To commit a random act of kindness.
I dream that some day the world will change.
I predict that it will stay the same.
I know that I will be someone who people can talk about in a good way. Someone who their children look up to and I become a household name for something good.

I will change.
