Heroine of Our Time
written by: Chloe Gilholy
She smiles in the corner
Pen behind her ear
Book by her chin
She’ll grow up
Cool and cunning
Surrounded by wealth
She’s poor now
But spiritually
Is a millionaire
She studies women
History never forget
Entrepreneurs galore
Queens of Hollywood
Writing sisters and
A virgin queen
They say it’s a tragedy
That they never had
Stable husbands nor children
To the first day in class
To the final exam results
She’s learned to take her own path
She vows to be free
From expectations and
Embrace life on her own terms
She’s done her best
She has no regrets
The heroine of our time
