Someone Else Forever

Can I take on a new identity?
One I’m not even familiar to begin
Like privatizing officially
When to lose is to finally win

I have always wanted to live like someone
Someone else I can never be
Yet I am to myself I cannot run
Have you a someone else you wanna see?

Forever is life incomprehensible
We never love what we achieve
Always a need for more commendable
Whence from or rather later to believe?

Its always easier to be someone
Forgetting flaws to only see beauty
Perhaps an excuse to simply run
Or simply exposure searching for obscurity

Did someone want to be me?
Does it not make you wonder?
Why me when so many others you can be
Isn’t this to be someone forever?
