I know who I am

sonnet

I know who I am.

 

I slept and in my sleep I dreamt.

I must abandon my attempt

To achieve worldly success

There is no one I need impress.

With a display of luxuries.

I only have myself to please.

I do not care what people say

I choose to live in my own way

I see no reason to court fame.

I’ll never be a household name.

Though some may find it curious

I’d rather be anonymous.
Than subject to publicity

Like some well known celebrity.

A court jester would suit me fine.Power without responsibilty

[emmajoy]

LAUGHING .. you juggle words so beautifully, you do! For some reason this reminds me of Jenny Joseph's "Warning". If ever the finest jester was required at court, you'd fit the bill superbly.

Fine, fine poetising, as ever.
