i want to leave a legacy

its 1:08 a.m.

& after not too much thought, i have decided i don't want to close my eyes just yet

..i just want to write..

when i write i feel like i am on a little island all to itself in my mind away from the beat-bopping world

just for a little while

its where i can sit down and breathe out my silly somethings

my inner thoughts become wispy winding words that lead to my ultimate desire

its my beautiful escape

not that i am running from anyone or anything

everyone needs their me time

this is my me time i guess

others may venture into reading that book they neglect so often

the book that sits atop the shelf collecting dust

i love books myself but i also love writing my own story

im getting older everyday

and im starting to realize how precious life is

so i like to write as much as i can

i want to leave a legacy

so that way the world will remember me

a gate way to my heart

a place where the people i love can feel each emotion i uncover through each word i write

 my heart being the "x" on the map

although my heart isn't hidden

its too grand in size to hide even behind the tallest mountain

its hereditary

dating back straight from my paw paw's heart

its true

when my heart loves it gives it all

my heart would run a marathon for the one i love

i can't help but love

it is what i was born to do

give with love

my heart doesn't desire to win the noble peace prize

or win a gold metal to represent my accomplishments in life

i just want to be remembered

smiled upon when seen throughout the world

and looked back on often

tie my ribbon around your heart like you would your finger

that way you can remember to think of me

often
