I Am Not Alone

poem about Emily Dickinson

I Am Not Alone


You were an inspiration
to me from a very young age.
Though time seperated us for over 100 years, I remembered...
I remembered a curious, bright child,
eager to explore the world around her.
I remembered a young lady
unsure of her place in this world
with no friends to interact with.
I remembered a grown woman who found writing as her calling.
Though many did not approve,
she had determination that
lit a fire in her.
She kept to herself,
writing late into the night.
Perfecting her craft.
I can relate to you, Emily-
on so many levels.
With your poems,
I am not alone.
Thank you...
