Good Influence

A Poem by Steph Crandall

Strong, disciplined , respective.

Slightly older than average,

but for a good reason.

Self-control, reflexive courage.

sitting next to you gives me

hope for the future and makes

me want to be a better person.

Loose, relaxed yet silently intelligent.

Kicked back, but analytical.

When you speak your opinion

and criticism, the room goes silent.

Sitting next to you gives me

hope for the future and makes me

want to be a better person.

Crazy, outgoing, hilarious

yet calm, reserved and poetic.

The way you play drums is astounding

wanting to drive for more.

When you sing with your own accompaniment

you’re a different person.

Watching you express your talent

gives me hope for the future

and makes me want to be a better person

Quiet, passive, creative.

Insane and misunderstood.

The images that come from

your mind surpass even the

Most bizarre thoughts.

listening to your ideas

gives me hope for the future

and makes me want

to be a better person.
