Waiting For My Life to Start

Hi, my name is Zena Harris and I go to Boston Arts Academy for Theatre. I have been into the arts all of my life because my family was always in to and doing the arts all the time. So I just really grew up to love it. I have participated in Citi Performing Arts Center Education programs for 2 years and I love it every time. I do it because I meet people that have the same love for the art. When we come together we make the most fun out of it and that’s when we have the best experience.
Poem, by Zena Harris
Waiting for my life to start is a journey waiting to end
Surrounded by the after
And children that get swept by the wind holding on to what I believe
And the more I shiver like no one before
Looking in the mirror I see something I don’t want to see
Because it reminds me of the part of me I need
Hoping for peace love and everyone to be free
Regretting everything inside that makes me want to hide
Loosening breath to a new born child is a moment you never want to forget
Hoping that they find the right path to spread their wings to fly
Hoping they remember you and all the good inside
Walking down the right path is better than the ride
Cause you know to take it nice and slow
Without having to rush and even if you do
Fall and have a little scratch
You’ll have someone right next to you
To help you get right back
