Want

by Amanda Blanchard
(North Carolina)

I want to possess a talent
that will bring people to their knees !
I want to be the voice of dreams -
what must I be
to see the real me I know is inside ?
what must I do
to inspire others the way you do ?
open my eyes to new thoughts
and let my mind see new things -
there is more than I've ever known
and less of how I used to be
