Ive changed since 2021…

Writer's picture: Nora HopkinsNora Hopkins

Back to it

Writing poems

In a lil' small book

The last time

I did this

It was

2021


Things were different than

I had big dreams

Abt a small catholic school

Where I'd find a man


Took a car

2 hours out

Broke down,


Couldn't sleep

Took some time

Away

Moved home

Bounced back

Changed majors

Went forward

Through that


~22~

Became the year

Of change

Left in night

Fell in love to

The point of obsession

Learn how 2

Survive on my

Own


Started pushing

down feelings

Believing i didn't

Need em'

Covered it all

W/ obsession

W/love w/romance

Turns out


In -23-

He broke up

W/ me

I was numb for

A while

Realized i had

Found my

Worth in the unworthwhile


Went &

Found out that

The greatest romance

Can be found

In my God


Thought it was over,

(He was just getting started)

Had 3 saints tell me

Things bout to change 4 the better


Went to Coimbra,

Didn't think id meet ya

But i did


Saw what it's like 2 be free

Saw the joy &

The peace

The confusion,

Clipped wings

learned that


Tried 2 just be friends for a while

Put my feelings to the side

& even denied

Em to myself


Then i

Broke down

The Lord pulled me back up

I started uncovering stuff

Realizing

There's a lot more

He wants 2 heal


So i started

Handing him the key

The key

Revelead layers in me


Forgot about

Tender places

I thought i could

Leave in my attic

Some things worth taking out,

Reading,

Burning


& letting HIm heal you for a while

So now I've taken

A

Step back

Letting Him

Work in all things

Bc he can (& will)

Do it again
