it's been a while since that day you made me into a trope

throwing me into the universe's pool of right persons, wrong times

we agreed we never wanted things to grow sour—

now, our taste buds in disagreement have nothing to devour

only our silence is left to echo like chattering mimes

"I want to do something splendid before I go into my castle–something heroic, or wonderful–that won't be forgotten after I'm dead." –Jo March, Little Women

Bold, outspoken, and loyal all in one–I aspire to be a modern day Jo March.
