A brilliant, inciteful poem from my niece, September 9, 2009
"Now is My Time"
I came to find when I took out the time
to remind my mind and no longer be okay
with being blind. I defined where I wanna
be and what I wanna DO, and none of it
included crime...So here's where I'm going,
not looking behind or standing still,
but a forward moving, positive progression towards
my future starting now. Cuz in your world...inside your box
I couldn't sperad my wings. So I bent and bend
trying to conform, knowing I was wrong
causing myself emotional, mental and physical harm.
Giving up and quitting was not an option for me.
But tapping out for the better is what it had to be.
My life and my time means way more to me.
Though the obvious...is still true. You was
my first cuz I want only you. But you with no ambition
...at a standstill just won't do.
I'm outside your box where you need to be
and until you step out of your comfort zone,
you'll never be free.
So I'm going to the top and that's where you can find me.
I'm hoping that's where you decide to go
...then that's where we'll meet.
There our love will flouish,
with you as my other half...we'll both be complete.
No, the journey won't end there...but don't it sound so sweet.
First we change ourselves...then change the world.
Possibly even have our pretty baby girl (Katayla Ocean)
...but first you gotta start and then a way.
But as for me...now is my time
and my time starts today!!!!!!!!
(Beautiful, honest, sweet, smart, classy me.)
