Let me assure you, I've been called many things, but my official title was coined during my Wall Street career. That era was a crazy time when we were all young and rich and untouchable. Tom Wolfe described the heavy hitters as "Masters" in Bonfire of the Vanities. We called them "Heroes" which, truth be told, was also a euphemism for "assholes." And of course, now everybody's heard of the Wolf of Wall Street. But in the middle of all this testosterone, there was a little 4-foot 11-inch, 25-year-old unstoppable powerhouse...and they called me "Empress Of The Universe."

Made up of my past decision

Echo a moral code and laws

that I must withhold

to ensure that I do not dwindle

but also testing to make sure

that I am not blinded.

always recreating myself

I am the god of my own life

and at no point

will I lose my rule

to someone

Until the day

I fizzle into mist
