Getting a PhD. (An original poem)mgaft1 (67)in #poetry • 8 years ago I wrote this when my daugghter got her PhD. A rise To the top of your potential Is thorny. Blood, sweat, and tears are Your only sentinels. Solitude Is your only confidant. Headaches and tremors Are Your sanctuary. But look how miserable The place Where you could have been If you be simply drifting... And let it be your prize! #solitude #study
