Birth of an Advocate
Too scared to talk
Too scared to play
Simply hiding out in the library
All day
Trapped in the library’s vast worlds
Not wanting to face the limited reality of outside
No, no, too shy
Yes ma’am
Friends taught me life can be fun
With uniqueness and interesting stories
I hold with pride
Ready to share with the world
Next, I see I am in a room
Filled with important, young lawyers
Amongst the sea, I see myself
Oh, waiting for the day I can too be
Anahi, let’s go do something today
Why definitely, with care and confidence
Cheering for myself to move forward
And cheering for the others around me to move forward
Something wrong with this poem?
