Dreamer, Worker, Man

If I am nothing more than a dreamer, then allow me dreams, And become astonished at the dreams that I create of nothing, For if it is so that merely a dreamer I am, my dreams will be superior to all that have ever dreamed before, and be dreams that man aspire to, If I am nothing more than a mere worker then allow me work, and become inspired by the work I will continue to do, be it manual or academic labor, work will become me, and I shall become work, Yet my work will be the work of genius, no matter the category, For i am nothing but man, dreamer and worker alike, thus allow me to be man, worker, and dreamer, all the days of my life until eternity, Mock me and laugh at my name in hopes of protecting your own insecurities yet do not hate me when the work and dreams of myself Become the foundation of my bread and the core of my happiness, As work is never finished and dreams are never ending in this life, I embrace the fact of being a product of both, for I too will adopt this perseverance, and dream and work my best, until it becomes greatness...

I've been working my way through your poetry and have truly enjoyed it. You have a thought provoking style and something to say.... i appreciate writing like this. This piece spoke to me because men can be so underappreciated in todays social climate and you extol the virtues of masculinity in a very non-apologetic way... as it should be. What a fantastic write! Thank you for your kind words on my "the fall of macbeth", i've been in a weird limerick phase lately!
