This is the year I change (Based on the poem 'Imagine The Angels of Bread' by Martin Espada)

This is the year I learned to question

the things I'm told to believe.

 

This is the year I found someone to talk to

onstdof holding it inside.

 

This is the year my greatest fear 

becomes a copy of my genetics.

 

This is the year the people I'm supposed to trust the most

I trust the least.

 

This is they year the thing I can't live without

hurts me the most.

 

This is the year Chris McCandless 

changed my life.

 

This is the year my future plans

take a U turn.

 

This is the year a VW buss and a Spanish Dictionary

will guide my future path.

 

This is the year.

Im done with being pushed aside.

I am my own master in charge of my own life.
