Fulfilled Dreams

People used to ask me as a child,

What do you want to be?

When I answered them, some laughed at me

as they said, think more realistically

They clearly thought my dreams were crazy,

but here I am now at thirty three

Still creating, still an artist,  and writing poetry,

I’ve forgiven those people who didn’t believe in me

I’ll admit chasing this path hasn’t always been easy,

but even so in the end, it’s been so worthwhile to me
