Paperback Writer

She waits tables everyday 
penning stories on her break;
Packing those tips far away
wondering what it will take

to create a paperback 
characters and adventure;
Never again plates to stack 
not work, it's only pleasure

Clocked out then its off to class
studying hard is the deal,
Hoping to more than just pass
her fantasy will be real;

Determined and with talent
all red eyed with all nighters,
seeing life after student 
soon a best selling writer

Melani, I was able to see your descriptions perfectly in my mind. I know what it's like to work and work toward something like that. I was also the type of person who would pen stories on my break :) Awesome poem! Congrats on your win in my contest :)
