Dream

She walks into the bookstore,

dreams in her eyes,

looking for her idea in the bestseller section.

She finds it on the shelf,

and her eyes light up as she reads the first page.

She knows she can do this,

she knows she has the voice.

She buys a coffee and sits down to write,

and the words flow easily from her mind to the page.

She writes and writes

She's going to make it,

she's going to be a shero.

She dreams of being a bestseller

She sees the billboards and the penthouse

She'll have a penthouse in the city,

and her name will be up in the lights.

She’ll walk on the streets of NYC,

In her boots and latte in hand

She'll be the one the little girls look up to,

She's a brown girl from the big city

 the one who shows them that anything is possible.

She never forgets her roots

And always keeps her goal in sight

She has hope in her heart

And she's going to make her dream come true.
