The Clear Plan vs. a Steamy Path

I know I’m stronger,

because I persevere longer

than anyone else.

I’m by myself,

but that doesn’t mean

my goals will

wither away on a shelf.

 

I know I’ll be

the best chef

this world has ever seen.

I’m deaf

to all my inner doubts.

I know I’m on the route

to the top of the mountain.

The curtain

hasn’t closed

on this one woman show.

 

Don’t get me wrong!

I know I’m able to sing

this hopeful song,

because I’ve learned a lot of things.

From my Mom and Dad.

Friends.

Teachers.

Preachers.

 

With a knife in my hand

I’ll carve a way to success

and be better than the rest.

I have a dream;

a simple hope…

No!

I have a plan

that even steam

can’t touch.

 

I’ve done too much

to give up now!

An upcoming crowd

is waiting to shout my name.

I’m ready for…

my hard earned fame!

This poem is about my dream to become an executive chef of a cruise line or a hotel. I might even want to be a personal chef! Food is important to me, because my grandmother taught me that even if you are having the worst day possible,  delicious food with close friends and family make up for any stresses you come across!
