They Called Me A Dreamer
They called me a dreamer
Because I had so many dreams
I was fifteen, lively and determined
I could not stop talking
About my passions
I wanted to be a great sports person
And produce movies
What a funny combination
I remember one girl very clearly
“Chloe, you are such a dreamer,”
She would say loudly
And the whole class would laugh at me
Including Harry
My high school crush
They made me feel stupid
For having dreams and passions
It never bothered me
I was firmly convinced
With wild and firm
Resolutions
Untamed and energetic
In its intensity
Was my passion
I was like someone possessed
Because the thoughts
Wouldn’t go away
So I rehearsed relentlessly
Swimming after swimming
I was trained by the best
Swimming instructors
I saved money
And bought the best software
For film production
Trainings after trainings
Software after software
I persisted
And never gave up
Or looked back
Now I look back
And I am pleased
With where I am
I have one of the best movie production
Companies in the world
And I have won
Many swimming medals
And championships
My dreams became
Reality
Because I clung to them
And never let go
Dreams and passions
Have life in them
Never let go of
Your hopes and your dreams
Because they were planted in you
By God
Make sure you make time
To pursue those activities
That make you happy
And be sure to make money
From your dreams and passions
Because that is God’s will
Ignore those mockers
And silly voices
Telling you
You are a dreamer
Cling to your dreams
And never let go
