I wanna be

The man in my dreams

The one so selfless,

who's exactly how he seems.

And knows exactly what you mean.

I wanna feel

Something that's real.

Not an ordinary life, not for me.

A perfectly imperfect boy,

that's who I aspire to be.

I long to find

The way to be kind

So unlike the person I've been.

Who works hard,

can normally think straight,

and is good at comforting friends.

I aspire to be

So loyal and true,

Someone who breathes normally

and maybe has a clue

Of who he wants to be

past the high school hierarchy

And maybe past college too.

I don't want to be

Someone like me

At least not the me I am now.

Someone who procrastinates away

whole months of life

And doesn't care

when loved ones are down.

I don't want to be

Someone like me

At least not who I am now.

I want to be

this newer, better me,

At least far as karma will allow.

Vote for me,

an ordinary boy,

clueless in this world,

probably just as much,

if not more

than you.

Comment for you,

And kindly tell me who

You are and aspire to be.

And Follow if you like this poem

And in these ideas, believe.

Who do you want to be?
