A year in the life
Change is old
It's an eternal idea
To imagine a year in the life
Oh what growth to behold
I'm becoming a wife
To my true love
I'm a student
To reach my potential
An employee
To work hard for my dreams
A sister, daughter, and friend
To love those who matter most.
Who am I?
Am I who I was a year ago?
Was I, a year ago, who I truly am inside?
A little girl with big dreams?
A princess, soon to be a queen?
A year ago, I was not me.
I was lonely, unhappy, and not really free.
Then he came along
It shaped me
Brought me back to my former self
I was already a student, employee,
Sister, daughter, and friend.
Now I'm something more
A half of someone's "us".
A lot has changed, yet not much at all.
For really, I'm still myself,
Just better after all.
2016 was a stepping stone to further growth.
2017 is my year.
