You Wrote It
Read this poem by a GL reader for major dreamer #vibes
please do not tug
on the strings of my helium dreams
i am too young to settle
i do not wish to think about
all the doors i am expected to close
in order to take a single step forward
i cannot tell you what i want
but i can tell you what i do not want
i do not want predictability
i do not want mediocrity
i do not want comformity
i cannot install myself
until i have seen every shore
and climbed every summit
i have the longing to feel everything
out there that can be felt
i heard somewhere that being
vulnerable multiplies the
possibilities of the world
and what you are capable of being within it
i will keep my heart open
and my mind just as gaping
so please, bite your skeptical tongue
the next time you plan on telling me
to be realistic
how am i supposed to limit myself
when earth was crafted in such a way
that limits do not exist
—Ivy A.
