By Emily Radebaugh
There was a time where I wasn’t sure where I was going or who I wanted to be Then I met her And she told me I could lower the horizon in the morning And I could raise the moon at night She told me Against all silence I could raise my voice So, I did I shouted to the world It’s okay to trust your heart She told me That music is forever That I shouldn’t be afraid to dream To wander unknown roads To explore coffee shops in beatnik cities So, I did I chose to sleep, write I chose to hear joy in the universe I chose to feel, love, and create She told me Once you believe All blank pages become beautiful masterpieces All your feelings All your expression runs through the indents of every canvas So, I did I painted my soul Onto open minds And I knew where I was going And who I wanted to be
