HAYWIRE Issue <strong>11</strong> <strong>Spring</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

I am eighteen years old, I long to be<br />

A dancer for the world to see<br />

And when I twirl and leap so high<br />

My fingers stretch and brush the sky<br />

I will grasp this dream of mine so tight<br />

For the joy it brings makes my life so bright<br />

Now 18 I still yearn to dance<br />

But school, it chokes me never giving me a chance<br />

To chase my dream and pursue my passion<br />

For that is not how this world is fashioned<br />

I must follow the rules, do well in the end<br />

For on this is what my future depends<br />

No more time to dance I must do what is right<br />

I must go to college that will give me insight<br />

On the issues that will surely secure me a job<br />

The world promises I’ll be happy but my soul will throb<br />

No<br />

I will break the rules that the world assigns me<br />

I won’t be molded by society I won’t let it define me<br />

Music ignites my spirit my heart thrives in a beat<br />

By denying this passion how can I be complete?<br />

For my bones they long to move and sway<br />

By being divergent I found my way<br />

My dream will flow I will not be shunned<br />

By building my own bridge I am the one who won.<br />
