College

I can taste you. Almost feel your essence. The literature calls to me. The algebraic expressions romance me in my dreams. I crave the hidden books inside your huge library. Sadly membership isn't so easy to obtain. So I stared at you from a far looking at you as if you were something I could never obtain. I got denied access a year ago and I nearly lost my soul. There were no odd jobs I could do or any sob stories I could tell. I got barred access. For another semester I waited. For another semester I cried and felt unworthy. Until one day I picked my head up and wiped off the tears. I realized that I do deserve this. I put on my gloves and I started to fight I won't get denied not this time. I've never been this willing to fight to change my life before. Sometimes you have to break through the bars in front of your dreams or you'll never soar.
