"What do you want to do when you grow up"
"I want to change the world"
"Ok but what are you going to do?"
"Change the world"
"You can't"
"I can"
"You won't"
"I will"
"A little girl like you, can't do a thing"
"Yes I can"
"You're too young to understand"
"No I'm not"
"You're not going to change a thing"
"How do you know"
"I just do"
"Well I know that I'm going to change the world"
"Good luck"
"Thank you!"
Posted in response to the challenge PAST CONTESTS – Teenager: In Writing.
If you can't do it for yourself
Then do it for her
Do it for the girl
With big ideas
And even bigger dreams
The girl who would try to count the stars
But then sigh and say there was a lot
I'm not sure how I feel about this poem, I don't think it's really good but I really wanted to participate in this challenge. :)
All times my heart has
Broken into pieces
I can’t breathe
No matter how hard I try
I’m still gasping for air
Drowning in the silence
Or in the noise
My own mind
Suffocating me
