I want to be....

I want to be the sun, I want to be the sky
I want to fall in love, I want to die
I want to fall down, I want to swim away
and yet my heart seems to always come to back to its place.

I want to win with truth
I want to cheat life,I want to steal pain
I want to give up everything
but yet I want to keep myself

I want to see the light
I want to be lost in darkness
I want to feel alive, I want to fly
I want to be everything, and yet I can't be anything

No one is happy with what they are
You might be the moon and still wish to be a star
but if I can't walk on water, I need to swim in the sea
so, imperfect as I am, I'm learning to be me.

Amazing use of words and thoughts.

The above lines are perfect. Great wisdom in these words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

D****t, Romalina, you moved me to tears, and that is quite a feat. This is one of the best expressions and summaries of humanity's universal existential crisis that I have ever read. Thank you.

So relatable and well written! All the conflicting things we want, that together mean we don't really know what we want - and then we are lost. But a heartwarming, inspiring and satisfying end. Universal insecurities, with a universal cure. Well done!

very peppy-paced work of art
never missing a step like a well crafted stairway

I'm in my seventh decade and still learning how to be me.... A lovely poem, heartfelt.

Very nice poem...it is exactly about the human nature that one always think about what he or she do not have and somewhere while doing this he lost what he owned,what was he , according me the need is to appreciate what we have and to make the best out of it and yes always try to become what you are ,do not tell i want to become like him , like her but like me...excellent poem....

Its all we can hope to be happy with who we are. We spend so much of life wishing when we simply have to look in the mirror and be happy with who we are. Easier said than done I know, but hopefully one day we can accept our imperfect perfections.
Superbly written, thought provoking piece
