A New Beginning
Location
I am a new beginning
A jump across a puddle and two hops to the left
Press start.
Look up. The dreams no longer satisfy who I am
I am a force
Not a physical matter to measure
But an internal existence that glides
I glide through the air
I glide through the broken window in the second classroom right
outside of the English department.
I am not this town
The oppressive racial slurs
Whispers heard
Daily
The hispanic, the unknown, the forgotten soul of the school
I am not broken
I am not hurt by the words, the words
of a God
Not a God I believe
But a God who rules upon others
restraining freedom, love, and individuality.
I am not your rug
I am not the 15 year old doormat that you brush your feet off of
everday after school
I am a person
I am a lover, a listener, a leader
An equal form of life
I am a new beginning
A fresh piece of recycled paper
Off-white, environmentally friendly
I am a fresh start.
