My Win
This time!
I thought!
I must be the winner,
Each week I waited for the results,
My joy always faded quickly,
Turning into sorrow,
But today was my lucky day,
All my dreams had come true,
A lottery win!
I was so excited and ecstatic,
All the times expectation let me down,
Really came through for me this time,
I was awarded the cheque,
Fifty million pounds,
Chance of a life time,
I laughed all the way to the bank,
First things first! A makeover,
Well I’m famous now!
Got to look beautiful!
Hair! Face! Nails and dress,
News reporter wrote articles,
Pictures taken,
From rags to riches they said,
My story told,
I was noticed! People were envious,
From that moment on! I was changed,
I spoke and people listened,
I was the person to be with,
The house! Lifestyle, and holidays,
Meals out! Socialising,
The old ways were gone,
Far in the past,
No regrets!
Then! I woke up,
To my surprise!
All a dream,
I screamed with realisation,
Instantly! All was gone,
Back to reality,
Wished it had been true.
I’ll buy a ticket tomorrow,
Share it with you,
Really!
