I Did It!
I Did it!
No one is angry with me!
I can die now!
No, I'm not a published author.
No, no one cares about my theories.
No, an earlier dream unfulfilled — I'm not the star of a musical
But -
All I ever really tried for,
All I ever put my heart and would
Into, falling further and further in -
No one, no one, is angry with me, al all.
Success!
It just shows, if you really try for something, you can do it.
There's the Duane Reade Where I Bought the Band-aids
Some of us are born great.
Others of us buy Band-aids
For the feet that wear the shoes we bought
To hear how great you are.
Some of us write prizewinning papers
Others of us grade those papers,
Unless
We're out buying shoes
And earrings
And a new knit absolutely useless
Tank top and mostly
Band-aids, Snoopy Band-aids,
To cheer up not only ourselves,
As we hobble home,
But someone waiting there,
Who, is just so happens, was
Also born great,
But her mother, unlike
Your mother
Failed to notice
