''I want to be me''.

He took stock of his life

meticulously sifting his thoughts.

Did he have any longing?

Was there an unsatisfied desire?

Anything or anyone missing?

Could something 

or someone be found 

to add to his contentment?

Perhaps there was a place to visit

or something new to do?

An enjoyment people rave about?

After much searching he did discover

something he would thoroughly enjoy.

To go back in time 

to his childhood

then deal with a question

he'd often been asked, 

but had no answer for.

''What do you want to be

when you grow up?''

To which he'd reply,

''I want to be me''.
