What They Want

Greatness craved me As much as I wanted it, Success sought after me  More than I could ever think. The caliber of people I wanted to meet, Sit and speak with, So badly wanted to see me. I wanted good things, Just as they wanted me. They all wanted me, As much as I wanted them. They all wanted me, More than I wanted them. They all wanted me, But not this undisciplined version of me, So I grew into the version they wanted of me And grew into much more than I ever thought I'd grow to be.  Then they all came, gushing all over me.
