My Example:

I am a woman,
though I am not limited to societies expectations.
I believe that our minds are powerful weapons;
put them together and we become unstoppable.
Poe will forever hold a spot in my heart,
broken rules, a new genre, experimental literature.
Robin Williams as Peter Pan in Hook flashes across,
reminiscent of my childhood innocence.
Change can only occur when we begin to teach honestly;
Appreciation meets honesty to create peace.
