Poem and photography copyright 2007, Sally Stephens
I’ll make a mark
on this world.
I’ll show it just
how
significant
I can be.
I’ll do what I want
without reservation
I’ll take my own
ideas
and
run with them away
from you.
One day
you’ll look around
realizing
that I wasn’t
so bad.
I had some good plans
and your own
blindness
just shaded them from you.
I’ll revel
one day
in my truth
and my reality
will be to my liking
as it
ever has been.
So there.
