Blind
ambition
I don’t see
obstacles
Staying up
to 2 am for a paper is fine
Still rising
in time
For work at
10 am
I can say
that I gave my all
You don’t
have to call
And ask
about my life
Or my lack
thereof
Living only for
tomorrow
Is for those
who can only afford
To see
beyond the end of their nose
I have been
blessed and privileged
To be of old
money
To have a
future to invest in
Testing,
testing… 1,2,3.
Can y’all
hear me
Clear me
Of the debt
Of your
stereotypical womanly expectations
I don’t need
to be dating at a certain age
I’m quite
fine turning the page
At the
guestbook
Of someone
else’s wedding reception
Since I have
plenty of fine dresses to wear
In order to
be the best we
I gotta be
the best me
Sorry,
Auntie
I have to
run and do homework
Nice
talking to you
