A Hidden Dream
I am shy and easily amused,
I wonder how Olympians become so accomplished at what they do,
I hear the thud of an arrow in the distance,
I see a gold medal flash before my eyes,
I aspire to be in the Olympics,
I am shy and easily amused.
I imagine I am a concert pianist,
I feel thrilled when I memorize a piece on the piano,
I touch the cool ivory keys,
And worry that I will make a mistake during my next performance,
I weep when I play a gloomy song,
I am shy and easily amused.
I understand how to be creative,
I say I can do anything
I dream I am a famous publisher, known by everyone in the world,
I attempt to write my own books,
And trust that someday I will be successful,
I am shy and easily amused.
