Snowflake Sticker

I am a Pioneer,
I am a Trailblazer.
Trailblazer of my people,
Trailblazer of my passion.

Passion in the sight,
Passion in the fights.
Fights that were beacons,
Fights of freedom.

Freedom for every face,
Freedom for the snowflakes.
Snowflakes that kiss every slope,
Snowflakes with a ray of hope.

Hope for the burning game,
Hope burning in the flames.
Flames I burst in the sky,
Flames of my eye.

I am the Mecca,
I am Sarah.
Sarah the infinite flicker,
Sarah not on the sticker.

Sticker that won’t depart,
Sticker in the heart.
Heart with a world view,
Heart like a tattoo.

Tattoo you can’t undo,
Tattoo of who.
Who will standby,
Who am I.

I am a Trailblazer,
I am a Pioneer.
Pioneer of my passion,
Pioneer of my people.


People remember my flights,
People remember my fights.
Fights for inclusivity,
Fights for equality.

Equality for every face,
Equality for all snowflakes.
Snowflakes that kiss every slope,
Snowflakes with a ray of hope .

Hope for no more reins,
Hope for future games.
Games that I fought ,
Games of who am I.

I am the Mecca,
I am Sarah.
Sarah the Snowflake,
Sarah on the sticker

This poem is about Sarah Burke, and the fact that her legacy isn't in a sticker, it's in the sport and the people she has inspired, like me.
