I am Worth More Than a Thousand Words


I am Me.

I live in a society that is supposed to be open and free.

So is it possible to reveal myself as I wish to be?

Let's us find out and see.

I am one with technology.

Looking around I see people burying their heads in their phones.

It makes me want to moan.

Behind all the filters and facade, I find myself having to wad.

To sift and probe the cliché and conformity.

All of which has become victim to society.

As I walk and explore, I have urges to learn more.

To expand on my education, and to create success.

To create success, I first must assess and understand who I am.

I am more than an exam, then an ACT or SAT.

I am Me.

I am curious and hopeful.

To bridge the gap that exists in this society to become more social.

I believe in overcoming the weakness in communication.

Through education and opportunity we can solve for stagnation in creativity.

To wonder and innovate instead of discriminate.

I believe in overpowering the temptation of social hierarchy.

I want to show and guide those that can only see the importance of a retweet or a like.

Through technology, through education, determination, we can all be alike.

United in the simplicity of communication, but the expansion of innovation.

I am Me.

I am one with technology, to become educated and free, and be granted with endless opportunities.
