“I could give up, I could stay stuck, or I could move on, So I put one foot front of the other, No no no nothing’s gonna break my stride, “ –David Archuleta (The Other Side of Down)


I live for adventure,
I want to feel the wind,
Rushing through my hair,
The feeling of excitement,
The thrill you can only get from,
Movies and books,
The thrill of roller coasters,
Without the fear or sick feeling,
In your stomach,

I want to explore and discover,
The unknown and unheard of,
To go where no human has,
Dared to go before,
I want to do the things that only happen,
In movies and books,

I want to live to the extreme,
And go beyond the boundaries,
Of all human knowledge,


Travel through time,
Like Back to the Future,
Have my own theme song,
Like all those superhero movies,

This is not reality,
And never will be,
But who cares,
Who would not want,
Life to be action packed,
And full of adventure,

Even if life is not as exciting as,
Your favorite movie or book,
You can make it that way,

All you have to do is,
Not be afraid to be yourself,
And to not be afraid to be bold,
Go ahead, do all the things,
You have always wanted to do,
But never had the courage to do,
Now is your chance, so take it,
And use it wisely.

"One way to look at life is to look upon it as an adventure."-William Feather. I am honestly still much like a kid in the fact that I like to have fun and I don't care what anyone else thinks but, the teenager in me is what tell me to be wise about when to have fun and when to be serious and get work done. I hope you enjoy this.

I liked the possitivity in this poem. It makes a reader want to get up and live their life. Good job!
