.......today

she sits with a secret smile hopelessly hopeful that shell make it with this job
twenty dollars to her name
and only bread and cheese to warm her aching belly at home
selling jewlery and purses at the market to make the rent
hopelessly hopefull she knows shell make it
praying over exams and cursing the skys
when her computer screen stares back empty and blank
she dreams of waking in a lovers arms someday
full of love and warm with happiness
she knows after today life will move on
even if she doesnt get the job.
