Sydney Leclerc writes: “I grew up in the small town of Gorham New Hampshire and am now a freshman at Endicott College studying Creative Writing. Unsure of what I want to pursue after graduation, I plan to use the next four years as an opportunity to explore the ways in which I can use my passion for writing to help others.”

Running River

Sydney Leclerc

The river runs fearlessly free
Let the river run
Obedient to the opinions of others
It is not
Let the river run
Constrained by culture and commitment
It is not 
Let the river run
Demanded to decide
It is not
Let the river run
Let the river run
Let me run

— Sydney Leclerc
