A POEM BY NIKKI: I WANT TO BE ME.
I want to open (the windows)
The windows of my heart and look inside.
Not imprisoned by fear
Or care for the thoughts of my peers.
I long for a heart beat
That doesn’t feel out of place or frantic
When it knows something I don’t yet.
I want calm shoulders
And genuinely beaming smiles.
I want to be free
I want to be me.
