we live in a bored world
filled with many diverse forms of
incredible envy
children express themselves best
while going down this chosen avenue
of display
by saying such things as
I want to be a cowboy
a fire man
a police officer
while, I myself only wanted to be me
but the best possible me
that I could be
and still, hopefully one day
I will be just that
only not quite now
yet Lord knows I can feel the
potential within attempting to
break ground to start erecting itself
yes, that I do believe
at this very moment's instant
so good luck Self
even though I don't really feel that
you need it......................
