Reality 
by: Debra Carruthers-Craig  1987 
Shattered my dreams, hopes, and beliefs 
Reality 
Took advantage of my strength, gifts, and gold 
Reality 
Came to me dressed, as a thief 
Reality 
Now I know, I am the captain of this ship 
Reality 
And I’ll guide it to the best port 
Reality 
I am on a journey to refill my cargo with 
Reality 
Never again can my dreams, hopes, or beliefs 
Be shattered, nor can my strength, gifts, or  
Gold, be taken away, for you see, now I am, 
Reality
