Manifest for a Young Artista

I am a poet

I am a woman

I am a body

possessed

with spirits.

I am encapsulating

a million different avenues

of creation.

I am becoming

angelic, monarchic-

unfurling my gossamer wings.

I will achieve the dreams

of a million young me’s.

I will dream new dreams

for the young me’s whose time will come.

I will do and be and am.

I am everything.
