HEY WORLD!
World!
Make a
place for me.
A place
where I can feel
And be
The real
me
And see
And hear
And take
And make
The most
of life
Embracing
all
Both
friend and foe
In peace
At least
A feast of
inspiration
And yes,
I’ll fall
And fall
far
And hard
I’ll flirt
And hurt
Grovel in
the dirt
But rise
again
And fly.
High.
World!
Give me a
hand to hold
A dream to
enfold
Another
chapter
To be told
Bold.
Perhaps.
Mishaps.
Sure in
the knowing
And
showing
That life
is real
Another
deal
Another
joy
A delight
That might
Just give
me
What I
need.
Taking
heed
I’m more
than halfway done
But I've
never run
Away, but
rather headlong
Into the
song
And taken
all
And sung
it
As best I
can.
