Wish I was a different way

" wish I Could be a different way"
  I sit and in stunned curiosity gaze at all the different ways
I could be thousand of personalities wondering by
If I could only imagine what kind of life they had left behind
Maybe I could be like them I could be happy in better days

What would it take to step out of my shoes
If I did would I miss them while standing on someone 
Else's soles to see how they walk to know their moves
Its a bold wish and a brave endeavor with all the reality you  know would you know would become your long lost home 

Is it better to stick with the devil you know 
Then to try to be the angel you don't
Mascarading people can lead you pn to a lost road
Never shun the life you have someone else wont
