Sabrina Orah Mark: My name is Sabrina Orah Mark.
And I chose this poem because it's about my grandfather.
I wrote it in the middle of a Wisconsin winter.
I wrote it in the aftermath of the Pulse shooting.
It showed me the truth of what love could be.
It's had a huge impact on my life.
And it's a poem that means a lot to me, so I want to share it.
Autobiography
What does it mean when we are told
Go on, be bold. Take the first step.
We all have stories.
When I was young I believed in forever.
I'm a writer, I said, I can be made of anything.
Some day this will all have been worth it.
And the song goes on, beautiful.
