She’s awoken at noon Met with a room larger than most childhoods Sunlight pours across her silk sheets As if the morning was hired for her comfort Fathers money hums quietly in the walls In the light of the chandelier, The freshly polished floors, That untouched fruit in glossy bowls, Arranged by hands she’ll never see She stretches her body with little care, How only ones untouched by consequence can In the city, steel is hauled into the blue sky by tired men Registers are worked by women, Who count hours instead of moments Though today, she decides what country Feels fit for her weekend She dons suffering lightly, artistically in ways A failed date becomes a tragedy overcome by cocktails A delayed flight an injustice, Her whole life has moved quite slowly, Doors always open before she reaches them, People chuckle at her jokes harder, Her mistakes will even arrive cushioned A totaled vehicle replaced by the next day, Her addictions to be renamed a “tough phase” Every fall, caught by the endless nets woven by wealth During her life, hundreds of girls her age Will fold sweaters beneath the fluorescent bulbs of the monopolized business Her feet aching, her smile fake She dreams of what it must be like To live life with constant reassurance and safety The girl in the mansion calls life beautiful For life has been gentle with her In her eyes, the world is rooftop dining Last minute flights, Freshly tanned skin from Mediterranean beaches. She believes freedom to be natural, Like the blue of the sky, or the act of breathing She fails to see that her life was purchased Long before she was born With years of compounding comfort While others inherit sole survival One day, she’ll claim she’s self made Without recognizing the thousands of invisible ones who made it possible, her girls trip

Girls Trip
She’s awoken at noon Met with a room larger than most childhoods Sunlight pours across her silk sheets As if the morning was hired for her comfort Fathers money hums quietly in the walls In the light of the chandelier, The freshly polished floors, That untouched fruit in glossy bowls, Arranged by hands she’ll never see She stretches her body with little care, How only ones untouched by consequence can In the city, steel is hauled into the blue sky by tired men Registers are worked by women, Who count hours instead of moments Though today, she decides what country Feels fit for her weekend She dons suffering lightly, artistically in ways A failed date becomes a tragedy overcome by cocktails A delayed flight an injustice, Her whole life has moved quite slowly, Doors always open before she reaches them, People chuckle at her jokes harder, Her mistakes will even arrive cushioned A totaled vehicle replaced by the next day, Her addictions to be renamed a “tough phase” Every fall, caught by the endless nets woven by wealth During her life, hundreds of girls her age Will fold sweaters beneath the fluorescent bulbs of the monopolized business Her feet aching, her smile fake She dreams of what it must be like To live life with constant reassurance and safety The girl in the mansion calls life beautiful For life has been gentle with her In her eyes, the world is rooftop dining Last minute flights, Freshly tanned skin from Mediterranean beaches. She believes freedom to be natural, Like the blue of the sky, or the act of breathing She fails to see that her life was purchased Long before she was born With years of compounding comfort While others inherit sole survival One day, she’ll claim she’s self made Without recognizing the thousands of invisible ones who made it possible, her girls trip
