The girl inside is aching
She wants to see Shania,
Live for the first time in two years,
Alas! A greater calling has stricken.
A purpose past myself.
And though I am not so naive
As to believe she will know me
As anything more, or less,
Than a dancing speck in the distance,
But, I do believe she can appreciate
the reason I chose better law school grades
Over a night of pure joy.
But, why do I have to pay, to learn
And serve my country on the bench?
I am a writer with an extremely active imagination. I love learning answers to questions and what makes everything and everyone tick. I am a "Unique case, medically" if nothing else. I am flawed in my extreme aversion to failure (even when "success" isn't good for me,) but have come a long way in ditching the perfectionist mindset. I like people whose default setting toward others is compassion, an open mind, and honesty View more posts

The girl inside is aching
She wants to see Shania,
Live for the first time in two years,
Alas! A greater calling has stricken (no period)
A purpose past myself.
And though I am not so naive
As to believe she will know me
As anything more, or less,
Than a dancing speck in the distance,
But, I do believe she can appreciate (delete But)
the reason I chose better law school grades
Over a night of pure joy.
But, why do I have to pay, to learn
And serve my country on the bench?
