A poem by Caitlin Mann, sophomore English Major

I’m scared of living life
But never feeling alive
A part of me dies
Each second I spend stuck inside
The mountains have a voice
And they’re speaking directly to me
Like the call of God to a sinner
A faith so strong it fractures my bones
Tears break through
Pouring down my cheeks
Like all the waterfalls I’ll never see
They land in puddles at my feet
The weight of the pulling is nearly killing me
But I have to resist
If I’m to survive in this cruel world
Of plastic and forced government rules
But if I had my way
I’d live
Actually live
