words have power


Words have power.

It just depends on how you Shape and Mold them,

Hack and Chisel,

Wipe away the dust and your Masterpiece

conforms to fit the ideal  of what you wanted to say.

I'm in love with the magic of words, and writing.

I want to tell you a story.

I want you to be moved and inspired

by what I have to say.

I want to make you feel differently because of what I've written.

I want to travel to the edges of the Earth

Meet new people,

Rescuing those in need,

and I want to return to write about it.

I don't want a job-

I want experiences.

No one in my family has gone to college.

I grew up on welfare,

extremely poor.

I want to end the cycle.

College is expensive.

But hopefully, one day,

I will be there and

Live out my dreams.
