Interim

It’s daunting, daunting, look

Ten years lie ahead of me

They barricade who I am

From whom I want to be

It’s thrilling, thrilling, see

Ten years I’m deep in books

Text tells tales on our insides

I take the time to look

It’s drifting, drifting, feel

Ten years in college out of work

Part time jobs can scrape up pennies

But we’re taught dependence hurts

It’s comfort, comforting

All years hearing heads and hearts

In ten years I’m saving lives;

It’s worth the painful parts

It’s me, it’s me, it’s me

These years ahead though not the same

With my degree, psychology—

The world, I’ll make it change
