Who I'M Gonna Be
My character, it ages
and through its many different stages
it comes together and unravels
both weak and strong as it travels
These times try my very core
and I am better than before
still not right in my current state
my shape changes toward my fate
Water trickles through
and this stream transforms the sea
my form shifts as it flows
I don't know who I'm gonna be
Liquid shoots across the ground,
structured by all its around
then goes following the bends
moves the emotional trends
My center collides with the shore
dislodged for what's in store
integrity fights for its goal
as direction takes its tole
Water trickles through
and this stream transforms a sea
My form shifts as its flows
I don't know who I'm gonna be
Ripple and splash
I transform in a flash
no matter where I dash
Everything I wanted to be I'm not
I'm not in control of what I've got
Everything I am, I didn't want to become
But I'm learning to change with the tides some
