Marked by passion
For the general good
With an air of mystery
She dons her hood
With a purpose of soul
She chooses the wise
Her knowledge must be whole
Or she'll plunge to demise
Self-control is her power
The key to her good
The power is hers
To use as she should
In school, I am Raven
“I am a
Radiography student at Nicolet. Raven is a famous superhero who needed
knowledge to maintain self-discipline and success. Otherwise, as a daughter of
a demon, her bad side would come out. I hope Nicolet will continue to cultivate
the knowledge I need for success and positivity.”

I am forged and created by the
strong women who are my friends.
Pieces of the universe at its best.
All four winds and seasons,
and certainly the true blood of shield maidens.
They take the husk of my insecurities
and push it to the North wind
where it disperses instantly into
wisps of just cold April rain.
They are constant.
They are beautiful.
They do not waiver.
They are rock that water cannot split.
I am addicted to them.
Their laugh,
Their imperfections,
Their stories,
The color of their eyes.
Their constantly unchangeable change
Spirits that are lyric.
The spirit. The purest. The humanist.
The mischievous one. The lost soul.
You are all portraits by Da Vinci.
You are the divine feminine.
Raven gave the world sun.
When you see one, wave.
I will be riding his wing
Saving you a seat.
