If I May
I want to do the extraordinary,
But be ordinary.
If I must have a factor,
I want it to be me, why, or zee.
I want to be talented,
But never for it to be got.
I want my book to be read,
But never my face in a book.
I want to be idle not,
But never to be someone’s idol.
I want to sing like the birds,
But never to be silenced by a limitation.
If I may, and you would like,
This is all I want!
