It's What I Want - (Slam?) Poem

I wanna ramble.
I wanna ramble like tree leaves shake in the wind.
I wanna not care and let my hair down.
I wanna run and not get tierd.
I wanna ramble while running with the wind in my hair.
And I want it to go on forever.
I never wanna stop.
I wanna be consumed in a whirlwind of every emotion that's
good.
I wanna feel it all exploding inside of me.
I wanna feel the rush of adrenaline that accompanies every
starting gunshot at a track meet.
I wanna have so much energy inside of me that I can't stop
moving, not even for a second.
I wanna be lifted so high
And never be dropped.
I wanna feel like the world's spinning in the palm of my
hand.
I wanna be so high up that when I look down
All the people look like little dolls that I can place in
the kitchen of my little doll house.
I wanna fly.
I wanna fly so high that I look like a plane in the sky
that people look up to with their mouths wide open
"Oh look how high it is"
And I wanna ramble.
I wanna ramble like tornadoes spin
Like blenders mix
Like balls roll
Like little girls run to their daddys crying when they fell
and scraped their knee.
And oh do I wanna scrape my knee.
I wanna scrape my knee and let it bleed and hope to god
that that is the biggest thing that I ever have to deal
with.
I wanna forget my problems and run.
I wanna have the shortest attention span and fly.
I wanna roll down hills in a grass stained dress, so I can
run to my angry mom and have her wash it out.
I wanna dive.
I wanna dive into a swimming pool when it's 95 degrees out,
and the water is 60.
And I wanna laugh.
Not like the laughter that you see adults practicing.
I wanna laugh not like it's a game that I play to win
But a game that I play for fun.
I wanna laugh without any worries holding me down
Without any troubles that make me stop.
I wanna laugh until my insides hurt and I still, can't stop.
And I
I wanna ramble.
Because rambling, and laughing, and flying
That's what life is about.
That's what keeps you happy, keeps you going, keeps you
motivated.
So next time we're talking
Expect me to ramble,
Because that's what it's all about.
