Craving To Live. Poem by Louisa Rogers

This needs editing I know but here's the first draft...


I don't know how and I don't know why,
but suddenly I'm looking forwards to living the rest of my life.
I have a sense of power and inner strength,
that makes me believe I can reach the worlds ends.
I am now excited about college and trying new things,
what I'll do afterwards will have to wait to be figured out.

But for now I'm not worried, nor the tiniest bit sad,
which is weird for me cause I'm all a bit mad.
I don't feel I need a partner for now, I can go it alone,
but I won't loose contact with home-ground, I have this thing called a phone.
I'm discovering more of myself, which makes me quite proud,
No matter how I can be both extremely quiet and loud.

I feel now, that I am really growing up.
I'm finding my place in life, my rhythm to it's songs.
I am full of excitment, happiness and strife.

I think the way to put it is, I'm craving to live the rest of my life.
