Legacy
This dream
I live
created in black & white
supported by teens
then twentysomethings
Ambivalent
Intelligent
Midwestern
Suburban
No distinct future
matched by
no distinct worry
Mom and Dad
separate
Siblings
living and learning
I walk alone
play catch alone
observe alone
Prejudged by peers
Sentenced
to figure it out
to worry
to play it safe
No calling
calling me
No mentor
challenging me
I can master what I choose
I can speak my mind
I can feel
and think
I will leave
my own mysterious
legacy
I will
