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...
