“Be who you are” they say.
But who I am
is not who I
want to be …
dream to be …
need to be …
I desire to be so much more.
To soar above the drab and mundane
that fills my days.
To shine brighter than now.
To grow beyond safe.
My voice to lift above the throng,
and be heard throughout the echo of time
To not be limited by
“who you are.”
