i'm leah, and you?

hello readers. :) i'm a little bored on this rainy sunday evening so i decided to share this poem i wrote a few months ago for my photography class. for some reason beyond explanation, we were told to write poems about ourselves. never used it for a project- i'm convinced my wonderful and now retired photography teacher just forgot about it or we ran out of time or SOMETHING haha. either way, with it being a writing assignment and all, i was delighted. basic photo is definitely one of my favorite classes i've taken; i loved waking up every morning, walking into our tiny little hidden classroom with a smile, and being given the opportunity to have no boundaries and to let my creativity flow at my own pace. the darkroom was absolutely fascinating. working in there with some tunes playing and watching the chemicals transform a blank piece of paper to art within seconds will forever intrigue me. i created SO MUCH in that class and sadly i don't really have much to physically show for it since my school's janitors took it upon themselves (without warning) to completely empty out our locker DAYS before school ended...so all my art is probably recycled or in a landfill or something by now. :(

ANYWAY, here's the poem. it's whatever.

I’m Leah, and you?
Just an everyday dreamer,
A million little sparks in my mind.
Buzzing and busy,
I don’t know how I’m not dizzy
From the wonders I’ve still yet to find.

Swirling and whirling in a wind that’s uncertain,
Paving my way as I go.
Miles are inspired on waves of desire,
And there’s so much I still long to know.

Emotions unspoken and tucked up my sleeve,
Erupt through a pen to a page.
Messy and perfect, this language of learning
I hope may teach others to see.

Embracing the hues,
From the yellows to blues,
On the canvas we know as the world.
Coloring lives amidst stormy skies,
Is what I was put here to do.

Mending by loving
The ill and the lost,
Caring for Earth’s best creations;
I will take part in everyday miracles
Without one ounce of hesitation.

I’m Leah, just me
This is who I’ll always be
Cruising this road to wherever
Loving and learning as the world keeps turning
In this maze of my forever.
^^^
that's me.
