just open your arms so i know where to go

i am not doing this again.
i am not running away.
i am not wearing shoes just because everyone else is.
i am not perfect.
i am not procrastinating as much as usual.
i am not going to be intimidated out of making new friends.

not this time.

i'm going to tell you the whole story.
i'm going to finish this paper on time.
i'm going to be happy.
i'm going to be honest.
i'm going to be in love instead of in fear.
i'm going to learn about MLK and be proud if my children are like him.
i'm going to say it over and over.


it might take me a few years, but i am not running away.
