Fingerprints

I walk this earth,
Not to span its extent,
Not to exploit its riches,
Not to get lost its wilderness,
Not to be fooled by its magic,
Not to be in awe of its mystery,
Not to be one of the many here,

I walk to set apart,
Not to be mistaken for someone else,
Not to be one of the many,
Not to be disheartened by the mob,
Not to let go of what means most to me,
Not to be too timid to make mistakes,
Not to be written off for being ordinary,

I walk to set a new trail,
Not to be fooled into following someone,
Not to be blinded by words that deceive,
Not to be isolated for being a dreamer,
Not to be disheartened by words of spite,
Not to be lost in a web of lies,
Not to be hunted down for aiming too high,

I walk this earth,
To make my way into it's culture,
To make my way into it's heritage,
To make my way into it's books,
To make my way into it's heart,
To make my name be remembered forever,
Not because I was different,
But because I was brave,
Brave to dream,
Brave to question,
Brave enough to want,
To want to leave my finger prints on history,
To brush off the dust of disbelief,

I walk, to be a story, a legend, a me.
