Well Hello There

I have finally broken down and made a blog. Everything feels so fresh and new. Following that feeling, I am posting the first real poem I ever wrote. It's a bit rough around the edges.

I desire no keeper

no guard

no sentry to watch

cloud my decisions

and my opportunities

leave me crippled in my abilities to create unique memories

not forged before.

I desire no societal stereotype

based on my time from birth

my age,

not on my character or what lies in my past,

my decisions, my convictions,

to determine what I may or may not do.

I desire no guiding hand to lead me

through decisions made a thousand times a day,

but rather to stray from the given path and forge my own,

blind as I may be.

I desire to make mistakes

to resort to primitive tactics

in times I lack knowledge

in order to learn,

to decide for myself what actions I take in all situations.

I desire independence, and I desire not to know that it will never fully arrive.

Hope you enjoyed it
