Into the depths of debt, she plunged,

Into the depths of debt, she plunged,
A former student, her dreams crumbled,
Cornell’s invoice, relentless and cold,
Years spent battling, her spirit unfurled.

In classrooms adorned with knowledge’s light,
She soaked in wisdom, her future bright,
But burdens of loans weighed heavy, so bold,
Debts accumulated, her dreams put on hold.

Now collection letters, like vultures, they came,
Clawing at her sanity, feeding on her shame,
$10K debt, an ever-increasing mold,
Her life intertwined with Cornell’s stronghold.

Sleepless nights haunted by unpaid fees,
She toiled ceaselessly, soul on its knees,
Invisible chains constricted her, took hold,
As she yearned for freedom, her spirit yet bold.

But hope flickered on, a persistent flame,
Determined to triumph, to conquer the game,
With resilience as her weapon, she vowed,
To vanquish the debt that once had her bowed.

And through the darkness, a shimmering light,
A resolution emerged, a path shining bright,
For this former student, fortune now foretold,
A debt settled, her spirit no longer controlled.
