The 7th Sarah on the Roster
I am the 7th Sarah on the roster
the bookworm in the class
I am the typical straight A student
That invisible kid who gets by in the hallway without a pass
But I am also the diehard believer
The kind of person who trusts too easily
I am bleeding wax on the seal of life
the one who dances when nobody’s watching
only to return with a paperback heart
Despite the trials and imperfections,
I am bold
I am strong
I am one who feels the warmth of comfort and beauty in individuality
Who constantly constructs walls around the pounding organ in my chest
Someone who has witnessed conformity and cringes in its presence
I am the navigator of my future
I am one who has seen the worst
One who in absence of hope
At all costs, will create a way for it to shine through
Even if I am
the 7th Sarah on the roster
