I Want to Be

I want to be a writer

I want to change lives with words, sentences and paragraphs

Like someone changed mine

I want to be a writer to make people smile

And cry and giggle and smile again

I want to sprinkle love, hope and wonder

Within covers of books

I want to be a writer

Because I want the power to change the world

I want to be kind

To see a dejected person smile again,

To help someone who may need me

And to give someone a renewed sense of enthusiasm

I want to be kind

Because I do not know what someone may be going through

I want to be kind

Because if everyone is,

the world would be a happier place

I want to be fearless

So that I can follow my dreams

I want to be fearless

To not let hurdles stop me, failures scare me

Or unwanted judgement confine me

I want to be fearless

Because I want to speak for everyone who has been silenced

But most importantly, I want to be me

I want to be the real me

With no pretending, no filters, no masks

I want to embrace the natural me

Because once I do, the world will, too

I want to be me

I want to run, dance, love and laugh as the perfectly imperfect me
