Unpaid Hope, Minimum Wage Dreams
by Jemar Souza

I’m grateful
For my education,

But,
Not if I can’t pay for it.

I’m striving
For success.

But,
Do I have to slave for it?

Unpaid internships,
Minimum wage jobs.

Why did I get into this?
Will it ever stop?

No,

Will things ever start?
I still feel it in my heart.

But my mind,
At times
Just

Laughs,

“Give it up
And
Pass.” -

Pass on every dream,

Because every dream I have
Really doesn’t mean a thing…

Until they start
Paying

Me.
