stars have shot miles across the sky
in such short amounts of time
and I have only managed
to crawl
a few feet
in the wrong direction
it certainly wasn’t don’t with as much
grace
as the stars
and I never made quite the impact
that they did
nobody ever wondered where I came from
or what I was made of
they only wanted me off of the ground
and out of their way
but I was buried so damn deep
I needed some help
and nobody was willing
I didn’t think I would ever get out
eight years later
and I have
finally
started to roll
in the right direction
Dana, I’m a baking major, bitter Capricorn, and a proud supporter of “fake it till you make it” mentality in all aspects of life.
I’m Thom, a second semester sophomore studying Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences. My dream is to one day work in the rehabilitation of wildlife, as well as to teach. I carry a strong passion for learning and teaching, and love sharing that with others. Alongside this, I have a deep respect for the written word and its power to move people; which is what I hope, someday, to accomplish myself.
