For the Better

Something tells me

That this is just a start

That I am growing

With or without

My knowing

That I will discover

My true place

In life

In my own world

My distorted views

Will somehow

Make sense

If not to others

Then to myself

My sense or reality

Is unrealistic

My expectations

Had always been

Too high

I've always wondered why

But things are starting

To make sense

A little at a time

Peeling away that film

That had distorted

My perceptions

That caused my mind

To be comfortable

With the way things were

With the way I was

With the way I am

But I will change

The more I understand

The more I can stand

That things

Must change

For the better
