If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

The hands of earthly time spin 'round and 'round,
As I try to cry a pityful plea.
Yet, the ignorant world hears not a sound,
For mercy has not been given to me.

For too long have my words been swept away.
Forever crushed, like waves upon a shore.
I anticipate there will come a day,
When my thoughts and words will be sought out for.

So take your precious time and realize,
The words I speak are nothing but the truth.
Because I can see, deep within your eyes,
You long for the simplicity of your youth.

So together you and I hold the key,
A gateway to be free from reality.

The author's comments:
This sonnet is a representation of the past, present, and future. It unfolds the emotions of helplessness and frustration when your opinions are being ignored, and yet, how precious your ideas truly are.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
