Poem #7: I Want To Live

Okay. So, recently, I watched a movie I've always wanted to watch in my class called Dead Poets Society (1989). It's a movie about a strict, private school for boys where in English class, teachers teaches poetry to the students as if it was math. One day, a new English teacher named Mr. Keating, and he pretty much change everything. 

I'm not gonna explain it further, but it's definitely a 1000-out-of-10 type of movie (just be prepared for the gut-wrenching ending). It made me feel things. I think I'm kinda speechless when it comes to telling what I'm feeling about this movie. It's just that this one movie made me wrote a poem. I guess if you love this poem, you'll love the movie.

I Want To Live

I want to live.

I want to run as fast as I can from this burning house, for my soul seeks something that can't exist in the fire: freedom.

I want to live.

I want to let myself wanders around the world and feast my heart with poems from all the poets in the world.

I want to live.

I want to cry so helplessly for I know every cruelest drop of tears comes with the purest smile behind them. 

And I will.
