Thus far, untitled

A doctor performs
brain surgery
she wears a white coat
expensive pants

Conducting some research
working so hard
a husband at home
and also two daughters

Money, for sure
I might work out there
maybe we’ll make it
ideas to be

she sees into hearts
of so many patients
Barb, a mere janitor
did that to me

Lawyers protect
people all over
for dollars and dollars
they keep them safe

A Chanel pantsuit, esteem
a Mercedes Benz
my mother at home
protects me for free

Cosmetics and Fragrance
I’ve often admired
Professors respected
I just can’t give in

A trace of each person
to capture and be
Bette Midler in Vegas
my mom’s cousin, Lynn

This part of young life
hard to face
choose your way, girl
I am growing up

After learning and searching
and wanting, deciding
among judges and teachers
politicians and stars

I’ve known all along
My life will be magic
no option for plain
I am going to get through

But here, I recognize
the thing I become
may never surpass
The importance of who.
