It could be worse


I guess it could be worse.

At least I got this experience.

It's clear black filmmakers are a rare sight at NYU

And I can say that I'm one of them.

So in light of the fact that my time might be cut short,

because I'm

Black and poor,

I can say, that for a short amount of time,

I was here. 

And thats ALMOST good enough for me.
