Untitled


Just one job could change everything

Everything I've always wanted to be

Be someone different from the person I am right now

Now, I'm only preparing for my future plans

Plans that I have only begun to make

"Make it. You're going to make it," I repeat over and over

Over an entire state, is where I'm starting again

Again, just one job is all I need

Need to leave my hometown to take the next step

Step into the world I've only dreamed of

Of being someone other than myself.
