Reminder

Written by Jacob Ibrag

You beg for my ear. Where was all

of this attention coming from? I was

just this girl in the corner you ignored.

My wings finally came in, and so did

you. As I burst off the ground, you grab

hold and drag me back. ‘I never noticed

you before. ‘You never cared to look.

The struggle morphed my life, your

ignorance made me fight. You thirst

for the perfect, I don’t want any part

of it. I’m the accumulation of the

climb. Those that shared my blood

and tears, hold on. I owe you my

flight. Each feather serves

as my reminder.
