are you free?

Five-foot-four and
Crashed a soccer career
Too ambitious for her own good.

Lost touch with her friends from school
Didn't make friends after that.

Remembers when she was something
But doesn't have time to reminisce.

Works a desk job
And rarely thinks of the time
When she used to make fun of those zombies
Who work around the clock
To satisfy someone else's salary.

Won't ask for a raise
Cuz her extrovertedness faded after senior year
When she lost the scholarship.

Can't remember the last time she smiled
Doesn't do the things she used to
That she loved.

Her younger self's greatest fear:
To be the only thing
They thought she'd be.

success is a mirage.

break the illusion?
