Me

I want to a writer 
Who has lots of books full of stories and poetry 
I want people to read them 
Write me letters telling me how great they were 
I want them to plead me write more 
So they can read more of them 

I want to be a singer  
Who can sing her voice so pretty
I want people to listen 
Listen to the words that I say that aren’t meaningless 
I want them to scream for more at the end of every song 
So they can sing along with me 

I want to be a doctor 
Who can fix anybody or anything
I want people to come in my office 
Tell me what’s wrong so I can help 
I want them to say thank you 
So they can live on their lives

First of all I need to be me
The me that people would love to be with 
The one who always do the right thing 
I want to be the one that is not a second rated copy of someone else 
I’ll just start out with being me 
Work hard to only stay as me

And there is absolutely no argument with that! Being aware of who we are and being content with ones humble lot...is everything...everything! Very nicely done! :) john.
