Change is Hard: a poem

 

Change is Hard

 

When I have to repaint the boards
of my picnic table,
I need to scrape the old
peeling paint off first.
 
If you are going through
a painful or confusing
period of your life,
maybe you are like the
picnic table,
getting rid of the old flaking paint.
Scraping can hurt.
 
But think of it this way:
you are getting ready
for a new, beautiful
you.
