We Will Be Remembered

A poem about one of my biggest heroes; Taylor Swift...

Blonde Curls

Sweep across the world.

Singer of Love...

Watch her rise above.

Our Once Upon A Time:

A young girl lost 

In a mean world.

Teach me to live,

To Believe.

Determined to be famous,

To live forever in melodies,

Both of us.

Millions of girls

Lost in the same world

Wish to be her,

To live her life.

I wonder who would survive...

Would they?

Would I?

I dream the same fate

But at this rate

I'm doomed to 

An average life.

Tell me,

How is it

That you're like me

But you're not?

You're my hero.

I can't help but wonder

What is that like? 

I'm just like you,

I write songs about boys,

About life,

About emotions,

But the world gives you 

So much devotion...

How did you do it?

You must be special,

Of course you are...

But 

How did you get so far?

Posters of you

Decorate my walls.

Your songs

Are like an endless hall

Of treasures and memories

That could last me eternally.

So is that all I've got?

I end wondering how 

You did it?

No.

Take a moment,

Look into the hourglass.

What is in it?

Sand?

A Ticking Bomb?

The Past?

Future?

I see what could be;

Understand,

You help give me strength 

To believe in myself.

I want to be like you,

I want to give strength too. 

So many say,

"Believe in yourself!"

So I do...

I try not to complain,

For I know 

Clouds pass after rain,

But I have to wonder...

Will I ever be as great as you?

But then,

In the mist of fear,

I remember you too

Have pain you hold so dear.

So,

I sit and I imagine

My future

Where I become a hero 

To a little girl too...

"Let me tell you

Who I am.

First thought:

I Am Unique,

Not Ordinary. 

I Am Your Unborn Child's 

Role Model.

I Am The Underdog

Who Will Capture It All.

Beautiful,

Inspiring,

Gifted,

Genius,

Little Girls' Hero.

You'll See."

Those words I wrote.

Not too long ago,

Ring through my mind

And haunt my dreams,

Like a ghost.

It doesn't seem believable...

But I hold 

Star Dust In My Heart.

Now,

I can explain

Why this is true...

The only thing 

I really have to do

Is believe in Me.

I can achieve any 

Destiny,

Fantasy,

Unreality,

Because I believe 

With all my heart,

Thanks to a girl with a guitar,

And 

Her words making my life

Fill with color...

Taylor 

Author's Note

I wrote this out of my love for Taylor Swift. I've been a huge fan ever since I was 8, (which is when she first started out) and ever since then she's given me inspiration to achieve my dreams and believe in myself. If you were to ask, I could sing anyone of her songs by heart. She's one of my biggest heroes, and I believe she's one of the best role models for every little girl in the world. She's taught me to be myself despite the cruelty of others, and to stay grounded no matter how much attention I get or how many people are against me :)

I had never heard the full song "The Outside" until just now, and I really liked it. Wonderful tribute. I used to love Taylor Swift a few years ago, but I've since stopped listening to her. This makes me want to go hear some of her new songs. "How is it that you're like me, but you're not?" Those were my favorite lines.

I love this, it was a great tribute to an amazing person that you look up to. I also loved that Long Live was playing in the background. It's one of my favorite songs, since it was like a theme song for my swim team.

When you find the empowerment to believe in yourself, take it for what it's worth, bleed out the story like you've done. I'm glad you have this as an outlet, an expression.

[Alicia Hirshey]

This was a great poem, it is always good to have a role model. Somebody to look up too. I think that you have shown yours amazing love in this.
