For 3 years I slogged and worked The pay was decent and overtime wasn't For 3 years I scraped and saved my pay For 3 years I told everyone I was broke and could not pay I did the math 3 times in my head Then slowly opened my laptop to find I could finally afford to go on my trip My friend and I booked a round trip Plus hotels and stays to show Europe We had not intention or reason to illegally immigrate. The piles of paperwork we filled and had wrote Just to get the visa on our passport! Along with our passports we sent stacks of papers with various proofs of age, income, gender, and resident And at the end of all this My friend got her visa and I didn't #MyTripToEurope
