The Last Mile

Submitted by E on Sun, 09/14/2014 - 04:05

And here we are, walking
Towards the unforgiving arms
Of our undetermined destiny
Deeply set in our refusal to
Let the world take it from us.

This is vague, but I really like it. I read it about five to ten times trying to solve the mystery... But nope! Very lovely!

I had my own personal interpretation of it, which is nice to have if the writer leaves it open. Really good rhythm, Erin :)

The rhythm is perfect. Do you care to tell me your very specific interpretation? I think there are many different ways you could look at it, but I'm very curious to yours.

Thanks, y'all!
@Megan: well, since my life has currently been revolving around college admissions, I has this vision of the day that graduate from a university an the feeling of uncertainty and excitement associated with that.

My current planned major is Linguistics :) I want to eventually become a teacher (funny, since I was homeschooled, huh? lol). I'm also thinking about minoring or possibly double majoring in Film Studies. Or I may double major with linguistics and creative writing. I have so many interests, I just want to do everything!

Wow, I just realized how many typos my first reply had.....smart phones are not smart. The day that *I* graduate *and* the feelings associated with that. Lol.
