Words of Agency

As I get older, I think about all the dreams I want to come true.
Living out my dreams inside my head.
Hoping they gain agency.
Envisioning all the places I could go.
But mainly all of the businesses I would own.
Being a writer on the bestseller list.
Writing freely, letting my words serenade with purpose.
