It has always been your dream,

since childhood. You never fitted  

in this life of petty mediocrity.

It has always been your dream

to be free - of your past, our present -

to be the person you long to be.

It has always been your dream  

To shed the scales of dead experience,

To slough off your fake identity.

It has always been your dream

To swap one green for another green.

You're a step closer to US nationality.
