Glass Ceilings

This is a little poem I wrote for this assignment:

A glass ceiling encircles all around me, I’m locked inside, looking at my future, I pound and scream to get out of this encircled glass ceiling, but no one can hear me. Just as I feel I have chiseled my way out, reaching for the other side,but  it was only an illusion the glass is thicker then I thought, and theres no way i’ll ever beable to get out. I sit alone, and wonder why can’t I be free, what is that’s holding me back from breaking out of this encircled glass ceiling, each passing moment the glass ceiling becomes smaller and smaller, until finally I scream at the top of my lungs, God, I love myself, I can get out of here, there’s nothing in this world I can’t do. I chisel the glass with my long finger nails, feeling every little sting, blood stains the ceiling, but I don’t give up, I move faster and faster, finally IM OUT! IM OUT! I look back where I was once encircled by a glass ceiling, I look at the thin sheet of glass, and now I know why I was in there for so long. My negative thinking, lack of confidence, and self worthlessness, wouldn’t let me see past, past the thin sheet of glass.

My glass ceilings in my life have always been with negative thinking, and feelings that surround me. I feel like I’m always left out, no one wants to listen to me, and by thinking this it comes true, because I hold myself back. I feel like some of the things I won’t ever beable to do in my life is save the world I guess. My thinking has changed these past few months, and I truly believe I can do whatever I set my heart to!

By the time I’m 60 I’m going to accomplish: raising money for cancer, then jumping out of a plane, bulid my own house, be a cute fit granny, and make a difference in hunderds of thousands lives.
