If I Could Be Anything I Would Be
If I could be anything I would be a reader.
I would live thousands of lives before dying,
I would be a princess, a warrior, a villain or a hero who couldn’t save the day,
I would be endless figments of my imagination.
I would sometimes be a fairy, sometimes a witch and then maybe switch.
I would be the criminal mastermind as well as the detective genius.
I would be a pirate and a sailor, a mortal as well as a god.
I would be the moon as well as the sun, a vampire as well as a werewolf.
I guess it gives me a calm and sedate feeling, the comfort that I don’t have to make a decision or choose something.
