Will You Take Me?


Hello My name is Sarah I live on the edge of nowhere Somewhere between my dreams and my reality My age doesn’t apply I’m growing older every second Yet losing an eternity every time I grow older I’ve been through years of notes in a class Of books Of laughs Of failures And of slightly more than failing attempts at perfection I’ve suffered through long miles I’ve dove into deep, dark, and familiar puddles My life can be summed up in a word Trying. It’s all I know. It’s all I can do. I can say that I’ve been Class President A member of every possible club A student involved in all there is A volunteer at one local organization to another Overloaded... and for what I can tell you every thing But I’d only be trying. If try is all I do If my success is limited But I continue to try And try And try Is that enough? Would you take me? Or do I need to continue? Must I drown before I can be welcomed to your exclusive club? Then will I be accepted?
