She was my inspiration
The way she spoke so clearly
Her voice echoed with no hesitation
and her words were meant sincerely
I could tell she wrote with passion
Not afraid to tell her story
It was her call to action
Not about the glory
I wanted her to talk forever
and not stop at the end of the paper
We had a connection I didn't want to sever
Her thoughts I wanted to savor

I've always had a love of poetry, but it wasn't until a couple of months ago that I was really inspired to write my own. This girl read a poem to me that she wrote and it was so powerful that it gave me chills and made me want to cry and I loved that I could feel so many different emotions just by listening to her talk. I hope that someday I will write a piece that will make someone feel something so deeply that they have to sit back for a second and take a deep breath.
