What I Want To Be

what I want to be is me But how can I when I'm expected to go through a revolution of change in such a short time I probably won't make it in time. When all I want to be is me in the beginning and in the end. What I want to be is me though I'm pressured to be somebody else. A hero to a nation. A mother to a child. a doctor to a patient. the list of somebody Else's I'm supposed to be could go on and on when all I want is acceptance for who I am for a single day. Just this day today What I want to be is me and accepted for me and whoever I choose to be that's what I want to see.
