Dreams into Scholarships
How do you throw yourself
into each application
the forms and the letters
the essays and the time
How do you find the effort
to apply and apply
to hit submit each time
knowing it might all amount to nothing
How do you keep giving pieces of yourself
a little here, a little there
you wishes and aspirations
reduced to nothing but hope on a page
How do you find the courage
to sit down and scourge the listings
to take a deep breath and dive
to put pen to paper, dreams into words
