In dedication of Madison Holleran:
After reading this article and being stressed a month ago due to AP season and a lot of finals, I wrote a poem:
Sometimes we focus too much on the steps
That we lose sigh of the big picture
Or even who we wanted to be
Our goals often get masked by all the
Demands of Life
Keeping up with the world that waits for no one
And drowning in the could have beens
Sometimes clawing desperately because we still have
that One chance
But when our eyes are clouded by ephemeral things
Fame, fortune, success.
We lose sight of our purpose and
slowly the light within us
fades
to a point of depth that isn’t wrong but isn’t right
a place where nothing envelops you
except release, escape; true freedom
Is this what you really want?
No, but I’m full, I’ve had enough
And you let
Tiredness take you away-
A Journey to Success
