Poetry can be interpreted in a million different ways. You can read it how it applies to you in your life or you can try to figure out what the author meant. I invite you to first read my poem, come up with your own conclusion, and then read below it to see my explanation.
I'm a lover,
I'm a fighter,
I will get
What I desire
Because of passion
Because of glory.
I won't be
Just another story.
I'll be a role model.
I'll get to inspire
Other people
To pick up their lighter
And spark a flame.
And be the fire
That burns away
The dark outliers.
My inspiration for this poem were my feelings about how I can do whatever I want because I have the power to make it happen. I want people (especially little girls) to be able to look up to me as a role model. I also want other people to read this and feel the same way about themselves. I want the reader to be filled with the idea that they too can do anything they want as long as they have the passion and drive for it.
