I Don't Have To


I don't have to shake the Earth
I just want to move a mountain

 

I don't have to cause a hurricane
I just want to make a tidal wave

 

I don't have to illuminate the universe
Just the Milky Way galaxy

 

I don't have to change the world
I just want to change someone's life

What else should people know about me? Wellllll...... I first started writing when I was 5 years old. I initially wrote short stories for every holiday. The older I got, the longer my stories were as well. A few years ago, I branched out to my current passion: poetry. Now I write poetry more than anything else and use it to vent pretty much every emotion. I never miss a chance to thank the man upstairs for the gift of words. :)
