While I Was...

by Niki Bell de Castanon


When I walk,
I wanna talk,
When I talk,
I wanna see,
When I see,
I wanna hear,
When I hear,
I wanna speak,
When I am not speaking,
I will listen,
To all of those who were not heard before.
When I run,
I wanna breathe,
When I breathe,
I wanna exhale,
When I exhale,
I wanna know,
When I know,
I wanna ask,
When I ask,
I wanna receive,
I wanna listen,
To all of those whose questions were not heard before.
When I write,
I wanna explore,
When I explore,
I wanna grow,
When I grow,
I wanna discover,
When I discover,
I wanna educate,
When I am not educating I will give; and I will listen,
To all of those whose stories were not told nor heard before.
When I love,
I wanna feel,
When I feel,
I wanna sense,
When I sense,
I wanna envision,
When I envision,
I wanna go,
When I go,
I wanna teach,
When I am not teaching,
I will listen,
To all of those whose voice was silenced before.
And when I am gone,
I wanna leave a legacy.
