A great amount of strife

Went on in my life

In the months of last year

I shed many a tear

 

Whether it was college desicions

My still developing skills and their lack of precision

The discomfort of being in a foreign land

Or just having many and more people not understand

 

I found misunderstanding is a barrier without border

And any place with a high population often experinces disorder

That love within a family is the stuff of dreams

Even when members of that fmily are at times mean

 

I'm talking about my trip to Europe in the summer

Sadly the first half was kind of a bummer

I was hurt b anger thrown at me as an American and girl

Itwasn't until I left Rome that I egan to unfurl

 

For the seond half of my summer trip

I saw my grandma and nearly flipped

For a familiar face can be better than the wine

Her own home in France contributed to when we'd dine

 

This Eastward trip inspired great feelings for home

And made mine dreams for the wold greater known

That humankind not only craves connection

But the feeling can be inspired though creative invention

 

My goals are far reaching and long

And cannot be wholly described in a poem or song

They took root before I could drive a car

And have driven my actions more times then there are stars

 

It is film I love and stories I crave

I draw and write and still my mind plays

There are many place I go when creating on a blank sheet

For the flicker of a film is like a heartbeat

 

To return to the previous point

I want to live a long life of joy and not disappoint

The aspirations overboiling in my heart

For 2017 is only the start
