Bridging Worlds

I am a girl of the middle class, With dreams and aspirations that surpass The limited means of my upbringing, Yet grateful for the comfort it did bring. I long to bridge the worlds apart, To reach out and touch each heart, To break the barriers that divide, And see all people thrive side by side. My poetry is my voice, A way to make a choice, To speak of love and hope, And help others learn to cope. Through my words I hope to inspire, To ignite a spark of fire, To bring a little light into the night, And make the world a little more bright. For though I am just a girl, With dreams that sometimes whirl, I know that I can make a difference, If I just keep moving forward with persistence
