The Reals

Just a quick sat waiting in the car poem with a lighter mood
Just remembering all those times, I said I had a dream A proper one, not a get rich quick scheme Some people had the "why bother" chitchat And some said "I can help with that" What does help look like, I want to explore It's not £1000 or 1 minute more It's a quiet belief that you'll be a success It's the "I love your dreams" comment said with finesse It's the confident statement said with conviction It's the authentic "I can see it now" prediction It's the working out of the steps that are required It's the laying out how some of that is already acquired Everything genuine and nothing false No being polite for the sake of it waltz I know if I say I like it, I mean every word Then and only then I sing like a songbird But do I have a dream in the pipeline right now Perhaps if my brain and energy allow I'd like to gain the poet title For that I'm missing something vital Some accolade or ultimate proof Not just an air of being aloof Something I can wheel out and show Then hear people say "she's a poet, you know"

It takes years, or an instant when you say it your way. Like falling in love: No one can define it on your behalf. Other members here on PS might wish to add to this. A good question and worth exploring. PS Soup mail. Regards, Suzette

It's only a passing fancy for me, so tongue in cheek poem. Video is just me reading it (audio) - you aren't missing out :)

My device won't open it as it says that the contest might be inappropriate to some viewers. We in SA are blocked on many sites, so it is not a comment on the video par se.
