In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on. -Robert Frost

I’m ready to make a difference.
I want to step out of my comfort zone and create a huge wave of impact.
I want to see the world through the eyes of myself, not through some silly little picture.
I want to believe I will be successful.
I want to live with several passions.
I want to create something no one has ever seen before.
I want to inspire and be inspired.
I’m ready to get out of Easley, South Carolina and begin the journey of a lifetime.
I’m ready for it all.
I will succeed.
I will believe.
I will dream big, and I will be the hopeful.

The author's comments:
Everything in this poem is completely 100% true! While writng this particular piece of work, I began asking myself "What do I want to do with my life?" and answered them honestly in this poem. I hope it speaks to people and I hope it will relate to how teenagers feel.

Totally relatable! We all dream, and dream big, and I don't think we should let go of those dreams :) Well done

I like the concept and the things you want to do with your life :) Could maybe use some more descriptive words. The lines could probably flow better if they were shorter, but I still like it!

I like the transition from "I want" to "I'm ready" to "I will." Beautiful work! Good luck - keep writing! (:

You definitely accomplished what you set out to with this poem - many people can relate to this, myself included. I can't wait to get out of my small town and live my life to the fullest! My favorite lines are the second and third! :)
