My future

I'm nowhere near the man I want to be.

I'm not even close to who I want to be.

I want to be real,

And true,

And genuine,

and different.

Yet more than that, I want to be somebody,

Be anything more than what I am now.

I want to be remembered,

To be heralded and celebrated for who I am,

For the man I become.

And eventually, I want more than that.

I want to be somebody's somebody,

But I'd settle for being anything more than I am now.

I'd settle for being more than nobody's nothing,

I'd settle for being somebody's something.
