I Was A Dreamer

I was a dreamer.
I dreamed of stories,
About true love
Waiting for mine.
About rich success
Waiting for mine.
About being famous
Waitng for mine.
About being adored
Waiting for mine.
I would sit and wait
and wait,
and wait,
for my dreams to come true.
Then I realized dreaming wasn’t enough.
I sought and fought for true love.
I educated myself and was given a career.
I worked hard in my field and was famed through my profession.
I adored myself, and congenial towards others.
I stood up and worked
and worked
and worked
and I am content.
