More to Me

From pigtails to messy buns; 

From astronauts to marketing, my story. 

Sometimes we are the lucky ones; 

Growing up to take all the glory. 

I had dreams bigger than the universe at ten. 

And now I can only name three. 

How silly my dreams were back then; 

But now I achieve them only for me. 

This story, my story about my glow up, 

Had to happen very quick.  

By sixteen I was already a grown-up. 

A variety of jobs I had to pick. 

And now I sit and write this poem, 

Going to college to better myself  

And once I get in, I will show them, 

Anything can happen with courage for oneself. 

Marketing what I’m here for; what I want to do in life. 

There is more to me, more than just a housewife.
