I remember holding my first paycheck.
I remember holding my first paycheck.
It was just a slip of paper.
It was just a slip of paper.
But it felt heavy in my hand.

I earned it by myself.

No one gave it to me.
No one gave it to me.
I walked to the store near my home.

I bought a used book and a coffee.
I bought a used book and a coffee.
The book had a torn cover.
The book had a torn cover.
The coffee was warm and bitter.
The coffee was warm and bitter.
I sat on a bench and read a page.
I sat on a bench and read a page.
That moment felt like a door opening.
That moment felt like a door opening.
I knew I could build my own life.
I knew I could build my own life.

The envelope with my first name on it
