You said… I knew

 

You said I would never excel

Above what I was that day.

You said I do nothing but fail.

Now I walk away.

Now I know much more

Than you could hardly dream.

I know that I must ignore

People who rant and scream.

I have a dream above all dreams,

One that only I know.

To be myself and not what I seem;

To go where I want to go.

I want to be free,

Like the little white dove

On the tip of a tree

Waiting for love.

Patience is my skin

While waiting for the key.

Impatience dwells within.

The key won’t set me free.

So you were right.

I was wrong.

I cannot fight.

I knew all along.
