Wordsmith

All I've ever wanted to do was write,

Allowing my imagination to fully take flight.

Hard work and tears,

After all these years,

Finally basking in my intimate limelight.

the goodness of me

I'll carve my name

Upon your heart

Love this hating world

Back to life

I'll cure our rottenness

With divine kindness

Cause you to remember

Whatever good there is of man

You will try

But you won't

Forget me

i’m asked too often, here’s the answer once and for all

When I grow up

I just want to be

Someone you will remember

And that's

A hard enough

Goal to achieve.

Always keep your childish innocence it will keep you young!

Oh my dear, my life is very nearly over now.

I've already done things most folks wait to do, they plan and scheme and then they do.

Me? I couldn't do that I just jumped right in.

Back then I wanted to become an Equine veterinarian. My whole dream for my whole life was horses. Never got to go to college, I did get to own a couple horses.

They were my heart and Soul, my air and my life! Now they are gone. And I am here without them.

So when I grow up I think I will lay down in a box and sleep a very long time.

In the meantime I'm going to keep my childish innocence because it's what keeps me young.

Life Goals

At one point I had wanted to be famous. But the more I think about it, the more I realize that I like being a relative "nobody."

Don't get me wrong, I do want to influence the world. I just want to do it in a subtle fashion. 

I already have a sphere of influence, and my actions make an impact. It might be a tiny little impact, but I have already changed the world in some way or another. I don't need to be famous to do it; I do it every day. Am I being pompous? Perhaps, but let me illustrate my point. By simply writing these three hundred sixty nine words, I am giving you something to read. It doesn't matter what your reactions is. My words have influenced you in some way (even perhaps something so subtle you won't ever notice it.) And I'm not famous, I am practically a nobody.

It's peaceful being me. No press, plenty of elbow room, I am writing on Prose, I am playing musical instruments, I have job, and I am getting an education. I will want to change things up a little after I graduate, but ultimately everything will be the same (minus the schooling part).

I tend to live day by day. I have few dreams (for better or worse) and I intend to obtain them when and where I can; and if I can't, I will enjoy them as dreams.

So ultimately, my answer to the question: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" is this: "I want to make the most of getting older and (hopefully) wiser. I don't want to get to the peak of the mountain only to be disappointed by the view; realizing to late that the climb was worthless. I want to have had made the most out of climbing the mountain. Then, when I reach the peak, I will know that the view was earned, because I made the most out of the climb."

(I should probably make note that the metaphorical mountain peak is death and the climb is the unknown amount of time I have. The "view" is Heaven or Hell, based on the climb.)

The Sum of the Parts of Me

First of all, let’s get something straight – I never want to grow up. I never want to lose that childlike fascination with the world and with how things work. I never want to not be able to ride the shopping cart down the aisle to customers’ delight and the manager’s frown. I never want to stop admiring the flowers when they bloom and squealing with delight as I watch the baby bunnies hopping around the yard each spring.

Since I was a child, I always wanted to be an astronaut. I wanted to go into the final frontier and help the human race expand beyond itself into places unknown, discovering more about who we were and are and could be in the process. But I don’t qualify for the program, at least under the current rules. I will make it into space only after I die and my ashes are scattered in the great unknown. So be it – I will still go.

Mostly, I want to leave a legacy. I want to write poems and stories that reach people and touch them where they are vulnerable, making them question who they are and what they want to do. I want to expand horizons – theirs and mine – letter by letter, word by word. I want to know that what I have contributed is valuable in some way to some person, and that, by doing what I do, I have made a difference. Knowing that, I would be happy, and I would continue on to find the next person I can reach.

To impact people is something I strive for on a daily basis.

I am endlessly trying to string the perfect combination of letters and sentences together.

Make people feel something, provide an escape on a bad day.

To be able to tell the perfect story.
