First sentence: I Want.

I don’t want to talk about how we are all different -
But about how we are all the same.
I want to talk about how each of us has -
One heart -
One mind -
One spirit -
Red blood pulsing through our veins.
I don’t want to talk about -
Politics -
Religion -
Or the color of our skin.
I want to talk about the person within -
ourselves - 
About our love -
Our hope -
Our tears -
Our laughter.
I want to talk about all of our happily ever afters -
And not have them be just a dream.
I don’t want to talk about history -
The media -
 Intolerance or indifference.
But I do want to talk about using our common sense -
For a greater purpose.
We need to reach out to our fellow man -
And stop this calamity.
Look to each other as a haven -
Of forgiveness and sanity
And not be afraid of the unknown.
Humanity must atone for its sins.
So look for the peace -
The beauty...
The mind...
The heart...
The soul...
The goodness of a person from within -
And push it outward -
To stop the madness of our self-inflicted solitude...
  
I want! Do you?
Description: Between.

Trust your instincts through these years.
You will define who you become -
With your choices.
Don’t just listen to the not so distant voices -
Of your peers.
Embrace the windfall of your smiles -
From the downpour of your tears.
You will invent and reinvent yourself -
Over and over again.
Never stop believing in yourself.
Often needing a little help.
Sometimes crowded -
Other times alone.
Always questioning -
In order to grow.
Somewhere between adulthood and child -
On a path of uncertainty for miles and miles -
Lies the you...
That you are meant to be.
Notes: This book has a little something in it for everyone!! I laughed. I cried. I learned. I loved.
