horse


The rush of the wind in my hair

The feel of the leather rubbing on my jeans

The reigns in my hand make me feel powerful

I am in control

The horse feels a bump

Faster

Faster

I want to go

I want to win

Around the pole

Around another

Now we are going to lope

Around and around

Faster and faster

Go around the barrels

I get off my horse

I see a gleam of blue and gold

Someone's coming closer

Closer

Their holding a ribbon out to me

A word of congrats and the news that I won

I had a good teacher

For western horse riding

You are one in a million. That means there are 320 of you in the U.S. Find yourself. Create an army. Overthrow the government of a small midwestern town. Hi... I am a spoken word poet and that is the format the majority of my work will be. Some of these are work from the heart and some I did for school. I am a actor, a horseback rider, a sister, a member of the LGBT+ community, and an extreme introvert. I love kids, Netflix, video games, my pets, and I suck at every language I try other than Latin. (weird I know) I'm a Pisces on the Aires cusp. I act a whole lot like it too.
