Amazing

This is my poem about the first few months of college.

Amazing

Amazing is the future.

             Bright is the day ahead.

     Only I know all it holds... so it must not be said.

Hope and strength and laughter

                              As far as I can see.

        And beauty and friendship?   All held inside of me.

                        I know everything inside me.

Though it's not exactly clear.

             My potential is great.            I have a purpose here.

      My energy is building, caring grows in my each day.

                     I have the strength to change things.

The will to lead the way.

                                          A smile crosses my face.

                                                   As I think of all I'll do.

When I finally set the plan.

and expertly see it through.

              As of now I am looking...

                      the moment must be right.

And I'll attack the issue.     

I'll give the hate a fight.

                     

                                            I can feel the power in me.

                                                          I'll set the other hearts ablazin'.

            I may not show it now.

But, someday, I'll be amazing.
