I want to understand the things I never before understood,
I want to open doors I never before could,
I want to ask questions that I really shouldn’t,
I want to take chances,
I don’t want to take second glances,
And think about the things I want to do, but prevented myself from doing so,
I want to live as if life’s worth living,
I don’t want to second guess every move,
I want every pavement in my path to smooth, never unsettled or loose,
I just want to feel the wind blow on my skin, never to think about sin or losses,
I want to toss the past like graduation caps, in confidence,
I want happiness without someone robbing it,
I want it all and the toppings bitch,
I want to be realistic even though my wish-list isn’t,
I want to stay gifted, with a sound mind, and a heart that’s hard to find, even in a world that seems unkind,
I want to be MINE.
