I look forward To
Finishing college

Earning my BA Degree
I look forward to accomplishing my dreams

Learning how to do all those many things
That require skill and discipline

I look forward to being focused
Enough
To encourage myself
To do the best that I can

I look forward to finding new ways to make more money
I look forward to buying my own house one day
I look forward to going by any means necessary

To find my true potential
And see the things that have been in my heart for a long time
To feel a sense of accomplishment

That one day
I can bring
To any man or woman
Friend or foe
Company or organization
Any kind of relations
I look forward to being able to be so much more

Maybe it's just sheer will and determination
But my eyes are fixed on

Fixed on
That dream
Not necessarily the American Dream

Where you want the white picket fense
And the children playing in the front yard with the dog
And to have the Betty Crocker life style
In a black and white type of scene

No its a quality of life
That I look forward to

I look forward to coming into my own door
And taking my shoes off
With my own hard wood floors
And my own kitchen


I look forward to my own vision
Where I am complete
With or without someone to acknowledge me

I look forward to writing through lifes experiences
I can be anonymous
No one even has to know that I exist
Shall I insist?
As I go down my list of, I wants?

My dream is of a completely whole woman, yes colored
My dreams are to beat the odds stacked up against
My dreams are to defeat this enemy
That lies to me and belittles me
Telling me that what I can only become is what I've been or whose I been
My dream is of me as a person
My dream is to see my creativity
Realizing my true identity
Not the identity of me to you or you to I
Or what I've become to who?

And be completely satisfied with me
Knowing that

I've done what has been in my heart to do

With my own wheels

And my own skills

Not having to

Compromise myself anymore

I look Forward To ....


Just

Being

Who

I

Am

FREELY...

Knowing who I am
Is knowing who you are
