A Future To Look Forward To.. Poem by Shannon Nicole

I've fixed up my mistakes,
Erased the scribbles.
I've cleaned up my cuts,
My scars are just about healing.
I've cured my sickness,
And threw out the medicine.

I'd hike up my skirt,
And climb to the top of a mountain.
I'd tie up my fists,
And with the most confidence that I could conjure up,
I'd win any fight that comes my way.

I'll write a million stories,
And only publish the importance of them all.
I'll say a million things,
And only admit to a few.
I'll finish my life with a wonderful end,
And I'll die with a new beginning.

I would know the world,
But only be known by a few.
I would be able to be myself,
And still be able to impress.
I would fancy so many things,
But only be strong enough to do so many..

I will be someone,
And I would be happy about it.
I will be a proud citizen,
Of whatever place I may live.
I will be a memory,
Good or bad,
I don't care.
I will be someone.
