A Little Time For Me

I'd like to think I've been through a lot
fighting back with all I've got
now, in college, away from the norm
living with roommates in a dorm
my friends are all fading
my life is changing
There is one guy who lights up my life
I wouldn't doubt I will be his wife
but we are both in tough places right now
I try to make time but sometimes I don't know know
balancing my school schedule, family, friends, and Chad
keep me pretty stressed out and feeling bad
but I wouldn't trade it
I wouldn't trade me
It's taken a long time to get to this place
looking in the mirror and accepting my face
Ive always had friends
Ive always been loved
but by myself, is something I am proud of
My family is changing too
my parents always have something to do
they never stay home
they're always away
I should be thankful they have new friends
but to them, I won't complain
my little sisters are growing up
it's hard to see the change
but all the same I'll love them
at every single age
Just since August, many things have changed in ways untold
I have actually become more reserved
where before I was rather bold
I moved from country to city
away from what Ive known
and I cant help but see myself
as being kind of grown
My wondering mind
full of imagination
has been sort of put on hold
I have a two track mind
Ive been held to
this is the first time I have had a chance
to write a poem in God knows how long
and it feels good to let my thoughts out
time for me does not seem wrong
so this is where my life is heading
stressful times lay ahead
but I have a guy to keep me focused
and it is not something I dread
he loves me, my family loves me
and that love will get me through
thank you for this contest
it was something I needed to do!
