“The Bystander”
By Ashley O’Hare
“Listen to your heart.”
“Listen to your gut.”
“Listen to me.”
My whole life has been spent
listening;
observing.
Playing the role of the bystander
no longer leaves me content.
I want to act.
Today only comes
once in a lifetime.
If my days are used
analyzing every detail,
I will run out of time
to live my life.
