A Message to the World
A Poem
It’s almost silly how you treat me on this one day I choose to leave my nest and flap my wings in the hope of something more
You are downcast and despondent trying to get the old me to take center stage and engage in a swift cancellation of all plans due to weather
I know it sounds childish to think I would stay home because of the rain you intend to drop upon me making my journey into life a bit damper than expected
But not today Today, I’ve made a plan and I will stick to it even though you, the World, are trying to hold me back by pressing my buttons and expecting me to answer your call
I know what you are trying to do You are testing me to see who I am The person who will use anything to get out of something he allegedly wanted to do or the person who will ignore your roadblocks and step around them in search of that path
If life is a journey, today is a message I choose to walk through this world cold and disheveled resistant because I know there is always sunlight on the other side of this storm
