Notes About The Poem

contest The Person I want to be sponsor Silent One

The Person I want to be

I'll tease my thoughts to be more than the same
to wish change of self is a promised gift
this gift given would subscribe to no blame 
and find it true that my world would shift
a finer poet and writer I'd be
to seal golden thoughts on a once-blank page
then display these writings for all to see
to be more understanding as I age
I'll claim no more or less than my pursuits
to be better than I am with my script
find reason more powerful than disputes
write words from my heart without censorship
improved is the poet I want to be
know wisdom and knowledge are always free
