to hope,
i don't want to leave this world without my name or my stories being leafed though history books. i don't want to die a lonely death, and though i know that end is inevitable, i would feel better knowing that i changed views, minds, and opened up a door that no one has attempted to twist the handle of before, but are glad that i did. i do want to leave this world with every heart i touched to collapse in on themselves again and again, yet burst outward at the end of each line when the mic drops. i want to make something of myself in a way that poets, artists, and philosophers can.
for my senior year i've decided that i want to present spoken/slam poetry in front of an audience who's seats are filled in every direction. i want to watch their eyes look curiously at the girl who they never heard or listened to, and discover that wow. she made an impression on me. i want to give my classmates hope, because you never know who needs it most and by never leaving a piece of myself how will i ever get to them all?
i want to open my wings someday.
