I wanna be
the kind of
person that smiles
all the time.

I wanna be
the kind of
person, people wonder
if they're all right.

Even when I'm
sleeping I want
to be smiling
want to be pleasing.

I wanna be
the person, people
look to for
their inner inspiration.

I wanna be
the person,people
call insanely strange
I wanna be....

This piece is about me wanting to pull myself in different directions. Wanting so badly to help everyone,knowing what I want but, also knowing I can't be that.
