[bodytext] => Even in my little years I’d heard the name Shakespeare although all I could hear were words of hate. Such a cruel thing I grew up believing Shakespeare was such an awful read always dreading the day Shakespeare would come up from his grave and join us for a class read. I grew up in a school always being taught but not once did I learn. The mind became black and gray you had to do it this way or no way. Failure wasn’t a lesson failure was you are a failure. The person who you once knew yourself to be got stripped away replaced by a walking zombie. I lost myself. I lost myself in the place where you are supposed to find yourself. The place that is supposed to prepare you for the “real world.” My question is how am I supposed to survive in the “real world” if my mind is a blank sheet only ready to be filled once given specific guideline instructions? Luckily for me, I discovered something exquisite literature what beautiful works of art. I strive on exploration and free thinking expressing what lies in my mind it doesn’t matter if no one can make sense of it creativity is my thing. I’ll never forget the day I wrote my first poem from then on I was eating poetry. My mind became an endless road of possibilities that opened a brand new door I let my thoughts run wild always asking questions wherever I go. I now only have one thing to say to the teachers that kept my thinking black and gray you will see one day my creativity? my freethinking? I won’t be a waste of space I will make a change and you better not believe you had anything to do with that. This time baby? I rebelled against that damn broken system.
