Who I Am
i'm the girl you see
sitting down on the floor of the bookstore
trying to get a preview of as many pages as i can,
grasping at any inspiration i can reach.
thinking of a future where all i can see
is poetry
and not some part time job
that requires me to pretend to be happy
every time i step through their door.
this life isn't always happy
and you have to acknowledge the darkness
to see how bright the light really is.
thinking of a future where my words
inspire and encourage others
to reach their hands out
and pull their dreams right to life.
