A New Hope

A New Hope

Look what I found!

My mom calls out

From the bathroom of our

New house

In her hands she holds

A gold necklace chain

Covered in hair

But still gleaming

Like a shiny new penny

Dropped on the floor

For a dreamer to pick up

And tuck in their pocket

For good luck

A dreamer like me

I wish for freedom

Independence

No one over my shoulder

I sit in my new room

All mine

All on my own

My mom picks up the chain

Like it is a spider

And throws it away

Then barges in
