Need for Change

By: Alyssa Pennini

My dreams are filled with desperation

As I flee from forces with much frustration

Or fall from great heights with no end in sight

For restless is my life, no matter day or night

It’s far from what I need, I am trapped within my mind

An unending pattern, with no escape to find

Not my want or wish, my courage has been drowned

Overshadowed by the weight of unwanted fear around

But now exhaustion pulls, the same, day after day

The urge for a switch grows, until I cannot live this way

But enough is enough, for now I can declare

A new future is coming, a change is in the air
