Since I was 8
I've had this dream since I was eight.
Waiting patiently for the time that I can begin to create
my fantasy
of being in a busy office while I walk around confidently.
I will own my career residency.
Tight pencil skirt, with a pen behind my ear,
a portfolio in my hand that I obviously hold dear,
Cases that belong to the many clients I possess.
I put each of them before a good night's rest.
I want to be an attorney and own my own firm.
I want to be the brightest glowing intern.
I want everything that I touch to turn to gold, I want my friends to know that I succeeded
eleven-fold.
I want to pass my bar exam with flying colors.
I want my salary to reach 6 figures.
I want to buy my mother a new home,
and teach my biological father how to love me and love me alone.
I want to sit at my desk and monitor my employees.
I want to kiss my new jet hello as I take my family to Hawaii.
I've wanted this dream since I was eight,
Now it is time for me to create.
