Going To The Library Was The One

If You Can't Be Free, Be A Mystery.

It's Unfortunate That Sometimes In Schools, There's This Need To Have Things Quantified And Graded.

Under Adversity, Under Oppression, The Words Begin To Fail, The Easy Words Begin To Fail. In Order To Convey Things Accurately, The Human Being Is Almost Forced To Find The Most Precise Words Possible, Which Is A Precondition For Literature.

Going To The Library Was The One Place We Got To Go Without Asking For Permission. And They Let Us Choose What We Wanted To Read. It Was A Feeling Of Having A Book Be Mine Entirely.

Poetry Connects You To Yourself, To The Self That Doesn't Know How To Talk Or Negotiate.
