Imagine Another You

Imagine if you could be, another you?
Imagine if that was something you could do?
How might that person look or feel?
Would your life then seem surreal?

Imagine if everyone could live someone else’s life?
That perfect life with no struggle or strife.
Not everyone would wish the same,
In this imaginary, hypothetical game.

Some might wish to be famous or rich,
Others just to sing with perfect pitch.
Some might want a life in France,
For some, to possess the talent to dance.

With a million options to create your avatar,
Most wouldn’t wish to be that famous star.
In fact, it might even be true,
Someone somewhere might wish to be you.

A total delight to read this one, Ron! I love the progression you created from wishing to be someone else, to realizing it, to the awareness that someone else will want to be you! Glorious! Warmest wishes, Gershon
