Houses and Dreams

Tue, 02/25/2014 - 23:19 -- Drrojas

As I gaze the empty space I see,

buildings in form of words,

houses on top of trees, 

it sounds crazy, and bizarre but that’s what an architect sees

I want to create new things 

just like the great ancestors like Wright and Gaudi, 

give them to the community and make them a better place to live

inspire new generations, tell them that they can succeed.

For that I need to put my feet on the ground, 

I need an internship, I need a Job.

I need the money, to make it through my class.

My financial aid is not enough! 

I thank you God for my supportive parents and blessed them every day 

Working day and night for my sake 

I want to help them too, but due to my illness they don’t want me too

I want to quit my dreams but they bring me back to track 

"don’t worry sweetie we have your back"

but I know someday they will not be there,

and so I decided to start, secretly selling  arts and crafts and bookmarks

its a slow business but it a tiny step toward my dream job.
