It’s dark in here.
But I’m not to fear,
For I have many things to love me,
And to care,
Like the fish in the sea,
Or the birds in the air,
Or the fly on the wall,
Or the horse and its mare,
These things are all special to me one might say.
These are my creations I thought up today.
Summed up in one way—
This is…
My imagination.

The author's comments:
This piece I wrote for a very special best friend who is by far the craziest person you will ever meet...ever. Sam inspired me to write this poem because she is never afraid of letting her imagination run wild and take control of everything that is around her.That is why I am dedicatingthis poem to her.

&quot;People believe that if we really want to eliminate something, focus on that. How much sense does it make for us to give the particular problem all of the energy, as opposed to focusing on trust, love, living in abundance, education, or peace? -Un.
