I was inspired to write this piece based on a news clip of John F. Kennedy's assassination in, Dallas Texas. In the clip, which is only a few seconds long, you see Kennedy waving at the crowds lining the streets. As I watched this, I could only imagine what mundane things were going through the presidents head in the moments before the shooting. Just what was he thinking about? Certainly not about the possibility of a sniper hiding out in a window.

I decided to take it a little bit into my own feelings. Im always such a self-doubter and usually am the one who rains on my own parade. So, this poem was like a message to myself, telling me to erase my self doubt, and live more in the moment. Basically, BE HAPPY.
