The Leaves are Changing and I’m just Not Ready

The leaves are changing and I’m just not ready

The days are cooling down and I’m just not ready

The brightness of summer only lasted a short while 

Ripped away before it had truly begun to stay 

The green and the pink the purple and other hues

The colors of life beginning to die before even getting the chance to try 

I’ve never been one for change 

Preferring to thrive in the safety of being alive in a world that is only mine 

Change brings pain and fear of tomorrow 

Change brings new days and hopes for us to borrow 

Change brings chances for us to be a person who remains steady 

The leaves are changing well then I’m ready
