I feel raw with the potential of a freshly opened mind,

As a shutter drawn nigh from rusted years.

Let ink run onto paper with my untidy scrawl,

And bring me back to those places I once thought forgotten.

My childhood does call to me,

Inspiring work that I have to do.

Open my minds eye sweet inner child,

And let me change the world one page at a time.
