Let Me Introduce Myself
Let me introduce myself,
to you and only you.
I have dreams,
but none of them have been told.
I have thoughts,
but none of them have been said.
I have feelings,
but they are trapped away,
under lock and key; were they will stay.
I want more,
out of the life I live.
I want to learn,
and gain the knowledge to be a success.
I want to feel all the emotions,
that life has to give;
hatred, sadness, happiness and love.
I want to be,
hated, mourned, rejoiced, and loved.
I want to be seen,
and be present.
I want not to be unseen,
standing by the sidelines, feeling un-content.
I need to know, what my purpose is.
But who am I to say what I need,
demand what I want?
What makes me better than anyone else?
What makes you better than me?
Questions, questions,
with no answer’s.
Still I ask myself everyday,
when will I introduce myself,
to the world, in this way?
