A poem reflecting young peoples aspirations, goals and desires
During the intial period of his term as Dewis Patron (2013-2016) Martin Daws, The Young Persons Laureate for Wales and the young people supported by Dewis developed a poem reflecting their aspirations, goals and desires.
The result of the sessions was the following poem:-
I Just Want To Be
-
I want to know...
the home
the stability
the belonging. -
I want to know...
the comfort
the security
the care. -
I want to know...
the feeling
of being included. -
I Just Want to Be.
-
I want to create...
the home I have always seen. -
I want to create...
the structure of having a routine. -
I want to create...
the hapiness I have only ever dreamed. -
I want to make...
myself the heart of the team. -
I want to be independent and feel respected.
-
I want to be strong and wanted by someone.
-
I want to inspire, help others break free.
-
I want to be closer, closer to me.
-
I just want to be.
