Who would I be?

Who would I be?

I wouldn’t change who I am

No, I would not

I like who I am and proud to be me

There are those who inspire me

There are characters I strive to be like

I want to be like Luffy

Be simplistic and know what I want

I don’t have to be particularly good at what I want

I just have to want it and I slowly will accomplish it

I want to be Miles Morales

He is cool and his story is about self-acceptance

I connect with his struggles

I would love to meet Barbara Streisand

Not be her but meet her

Seeing her in The Way We Were reminds me of reality

What we want is not always what we are meant to have

We can fight as hard as we can but that will not change

Yet we fight for what we love.

If I was an animal, I’d be a cat

Free to roam and be myself

Or I would be a bird

Not one that is preyed upon, just free to fly

Or I would be a crow or coyote

Free to wander and live as I please

If I was an animal I would pick one where I could be free.

If I was a plant, I would want to be a morning glory

With the adaptability of their vines and their beauty

Or a bonsai tree

With their patience and peace

Or a large oak tree

With their sturdiness and endurance.

If I was someone else, I would still be true to myself

Just smile and the sun will continue to shine

Even when the rain comes, smile and the sun will shine again soon

When things aren’t black and white

A major sacrifice but clueless at the time

I will be fine eventually

Growing pains continue

Facing challenges far and near

It will continue on and on

I look at who I want to be and who I will be

I want and will be me.
