Years Ago

Standard

I went to college.

Stayed in state

Was pre med

Failed math and science horribly

Went to camp

Found my future

Special Education

Nothing was more fulfilling

Then seeing aiding

Someone to reach their possibilities

They couldn’t imagine

Giving them the world

So many restricted them from

Letting them see

How to break their own obstacles

For it wasn’t can I

Always How May I

My life outside of that was living

Living to make sure

I had been there before

Give them options for proceeding

It was necessary to live as much as them

Show them nothing is without boundaries

Except for that of your mind

Learn, persevere

You will achieve

That is my life’s mission

And that is why I shouldn’t have quit Shoreline

They put boundaries on me

And now even more

But my goal remains

To give people with disabilities

Lives just as normal

As you and I
