I was watching boy meets world the other day and Shawn had wrote a poem that Feeny read to the class.
I donāt think any poem has ever affected me as strongly as this one did.
I read that Rider Strong had wrote the poems himself so credit to that guy.
Anyways here it is
An Unpublished Manuscript of J.D. Salinger
by Rider Strong
It is possible to assassinate my heroes
with the scope of my individualism
However, by their own persistence to themselves
I believe that they have chosen me to pursue a self
What is literature
but the illumination of that which I would write?
Salinger speaks through me, to me
whispers, āWhere to, little boy?ā
My answer is the dogged pen to page
which lights consistently the pathway home
It is on that road
that I alone can trip my way back to myself.
