Wet expressions wept down her face
Each tear ran down like an endless race
Until disappearing in invisible space
Her voice shook as she tried to explain
Why her eyes began to rain
What oppression has caused this depression
What began this pain?
"You have to want to change."
She remembered another exchange
And in other conversations about the same thing
She thought it was strange because
Someone else near and dear said you will never WANT to move
As much as you need to
You just have to get up and do.
Another said you have to want it in order to change
She wanted to speak up to herself and to others but...
She had always thought it was beyond her range
In the counselor´s office comfort was sinking sand
She saw that family around her stood on the rock
Was that why she wasn't steady?
In the auditorium which everything felt louder than ever
He (her friend) asked, "Are you ready?"
Then she looked in her heart, and her heart it was heavy
She asked (herself), "Are you ready?"
She responded ¨Yes.¨
But that answer sounded more like a guess
Then he asked "Are you sure you're ready?"

Even when history repeats itself, change is necessary (to grow).
