Footprints in the Sand
Inspiration:
This is the most recent poem I’ve written, born out of a moment where I felt caught in a really sticky situation. It seemed like every word I spoke would follow me forever, and each step I took was being recorded in time. I felt paralyzed, afraid to move or choose a side, because what if I chose the wrong one? What would the world think of me then?
I plan to write a continuation of this poem where the girl chooses bravery, stepping out onto the shore, unfazed by the world’s judgment, and seeking out the best version of herself.
