ANTHOLE
I am nothing but an ant-gazing up high,
to my dreams, my ambitions-up there in the blue, blue sky,
and all I do is scream and cry-and screech yet never try-
one day-maybe I'll raise my hands, and touch the blue, blue sky
maybe the sky will greet me with a gust of air
and maybe the sun will welcome me, with her care
and the clouds will grant me with gentle rain,
the warmth-the water will sooth my pain
But, being an ant, I have a long way to go,
many mountains to climb, endless rivers to row
I am nothing but an ant, yet that's what gives me strength,
the vast blue above me, and the truth of it's extent.
Being an ant, I may never be found,
Even if I am, I may never leave the ground,
But who says I can't dream, and hope, and pray, and preach
For the blue, blue sky-out of my reach

This is my first time submitting to a magazine. And honestly I had a hard time deciding which one of my poems to submit. The first one? No, we all our first poems are pretty crap. This poem means a lot to me. I literally wrote it in a poet workshop/internship. I was felt worthless listening to others beautifully recite their poems, and wrote this while coping. Because, honestly I write the best when I feel like crap. I hope this gets chosen,.
