Like Calls To Like (Book 2)

My Moon

Growing up

And feeling like

Everything was

Out of reach

Not knowing

Just how far

I could go

In high school

College was

My moon

With all the

Hardships

Headaches

Nightmares

Problems

Could I really get in?

Would I really go?

But I did

And I graduated

My freshman year of college

Sitting in an auditorium

Full of children

Just like myself

The question was asked

How many of you

Want to go to grad school?

Looking around

Thinking

I'm in college

Raising my hand

I made grad school

My moon

I knew I would reach it

Someday

Someday is here

I am a grad student

With yrs of work experience

Under my belt

A bachelor's degree

From an awesome school

I've reached

My moon

Now what?

Sure it's hard

It'll get harder

I'll want to pull my hair out

Maybe quit

But I won't

Why?

I'm on my moon

I'm living my dream

I'm proud of me

Thinking

Hard about

Just how far I've come

How hard I've had to work

Don't like people

For whom this is easy

Who breeze thru their MBA

At the speed of light

While others have to

Get there by the skin

Of their teeth

Working like slaves

Guess that's why the reward

Is so much greater for us

But that's them

I'm me

A grad student

As I think

I start to smile

Because I'm not done yet

Giving it some serious thought

And getting advice from loved ones

A decision has been made

I need a new moon

I've found one

Whether this will actually happen

Whether I will reach

Whether it'll be a rocket launch

Or

A long stair climb

Remains to be seen

A Ph.D is my moon now
