27 Is Me
Poem I wrote:
27 years old today is me,
Divide that by three and that's how long it took to make me.
I was born on a Sunday, yet today is a Saturday,
But the Sunday of next year will be my date of birth and my 28th birthday,
What I mean is that it will be the day of the week my parents first saw me,
Even though all I wanted to do was sleep.
My goal is Forbe's 30 under 30 before I'm 30,
Something I should have worked harder for in my 20s,
However, now I have something that I absolutely adore,
and I have made the decision that I want to fully explore.
I enjoy learning and teaching and finding new ways of reaching the minds of our youth,
Because right now the path that has been set is a trap not a successful route.
I want the generation I teach to love to learn just as much as I do,
For inside every child there is something you never knew.
I am patient enough to dive into their minds and show them their imagination is something they can pursue,
because no child is stupid or dumb, each child is special and I will give them the time they need to make their debut.
I want to be the person who gets to know who they are and their natural curiousities,
because in each and every child's mind there are incredible qualities.
And our current policies and ideologies are not conducive to learning but only for studies,
I know that I have the skills and the drive to produce a generation of prodigies,
The future who will be the ones in control of our current drowning economies,
so their current little minds fantasies can create new technologies, agencies and strategies.
27 years old today is me,
Divide that by nine and add them together and I'd be thirty,
I know in my heart and mind that this is my life's calling; my journey,
something that I clearly know I can do and commit to fully,
Because in 365 days it will be my birth date and my birth day,
and nothing can stop this dream I have and no one will get in my way.
Not even myself.
