Boston University 2014 Baby!
walking down the street
the wind blows my hair behind me
my messenger bag rhythmically
thumps the backs of my thighs
my boots hit the pavement
to the beat of the music
playing loudly in my ears
muscles comfortably sore
from working out
the sun shines down on me
I feel the warmth on my exposed skin
a smile plays on my face because
I can't stop thinking about him
I feel unnaturally confident
abnormally happy
and inexplicably brave
unafraid, and ready to face the world
chin up high
eyes looking towards my bright future
head clear and right
ready to face any barrier with vengeance and determination
I refuse to back down
I refuse to give up
I know the path i have chosen won't be easy
But I can take it
College, bring it on
