I'm Gonna Crawl

Being a positive role model

 

I’m gonna walk the walk

Ride the ride

 

Go, see, do

 

Push the BS aside

 

Show those young people

How to live

Cuz tellin’ them ain’t workin’

 

Everyone b*****s

Whines

Cries

Pouts

 

About this city, this state

These clubs, those guys

Their jobs, but

They do little to remedy their existence.

 

I’m gonna fly

Tag every state

Visit every paradise

Straddle every street

 

I’m gonna change careers

Live my dreams

I’m gonna float

 

Gonna buy a scooter

Do my part for the environment, and

Have some fun!

 

Adopt a polar bear

A tiger, and

Roar!

 

I’m gonna celebrate

This single, singular

Life

 

I’m gonna make my daddy proud, and

Honor my mother’s memory

I’m gonna live

 

Take baby steps

Large strides

Leap boundaries

Chase rainbows, lift blinds

Until my breath is gone, and

 

My message lives on

On paper

 

I will find my sun, and

Keep wishing for you

To find yours.

Being an old Led Zepplin fan, I was immediately drawn to your title. (The first song that plays on my profile is "I'm gonna Crawl") That's beside the point, really. No, your poem is an energetic statement of your intention to live life to the fullest. May it always be so, and if you fall, may you get back up.

Make the best of your existence. Life's too short to watch it go by, doing the same things we do week in and out. Awesome write, it's almost like urban hiking eh. Be sure to make a stop in ct ;)
