Live a Little

Is it wrong to wish for wings so hard,

so I can fly far, far away

and slow dance with the stars?

Is it wrong to have where I live

and who I think I am?

Is it wrong to hate what I am given,

and wish I was the lion, instead of the lamb?

I don't want to have someone fall in love with me,

I want to fall in love with them.

I don't want to be fought for,

I want to be the one fighting.

I don't want to stand by and yell “fight”,

I want to be the one throwing punches.

I don't want to be the one being screamed at,

I want to be the one with the sore throat.

I want to live a little.

Your desires are very good. Good to want to test life and have some fun. You need to before age steal your time. I told my kids. Travel, test life and have some fun. You will work for 50 plus years. Don't rush the old age. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

I missed a few words when I read it lol, I get it now. To put it in modern english: If you try in the area you suck at, eventually you'll be awesome?
