Who inspired me

She inspired me
Inspired me to reach within my mind
To excel pass this 8x10 barrier to escape time
Through at times you fear I ask too many questions
It inspires me to see you teach each poetry session
When you speak it’s like you’re moving mountain
It inspires me in this poetic way
The way you have me sitting on the edge of my seat to hear everything
You say
Because of your knowledge and understanding of life itself
And you are passionate concern of those like myself
See it is your wisdom and helpful heart
The way you jumped in an extended your land from the start
So intellectual, strong and modest as you may be
These are the things that inspires me
Even though there was 16 placed infront of me
It was you that motivates and inspires me
Through I may go home in October or November
It is my brothers and sisters in this class I will always remember
Diada: Intelligent as you maybe
Trigger: A leader as everyone can see
Howard Bey: never cease to amaze me
Mark: Just stone cold crazy and nice as he maybe
And TY can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee
Just to name a few
But my inspiration is Sarah and for that I thank you!
And God Bless you!
