Future

    “One of these days you’ll all see how wrong you were. Yes, I had nothing going for me. My mother did not have a high school diploma. My sister is a stripper. Well I could not tell you how a father acts. Those were the footsteps I knew to follow in. But, I want a future, possibilities, like to travel out of the country. I want to dress up for a ball. Dance the waltz. I want to ride an elephant. I want to wake up to see the sun rise. I don’t know if I will get a chance to do these things. That doesn’t really matter. All I want is the possibility.”
