Who I Want To Be .......... by CaitieAnjel

I close my eyes
And I see who I want to be
A smiling, friendly girl
With great people surrounding me

I want to be singing
And I want to have confidence in that
I want to think I'm beautiful
But not have it become my one and only fact

I want to feel okay
As though I'm allowed to be sad sometimes
I want to write amazing poetry
Some with thought-provoking words, some with fun rhymes

I want to not be afraid
Especially of things I do not know
'Cause lately I've felt on guard
Like I'm waiting for something horrible to show

I feel bad for making you cry
No matter what they say, I care for you
Maybe in the future I will be the real me
Maybe it will be someone you can come home to

But for now I'm just a girl
I am only seventeen
I'm just barely starting my life
And learning who I want to be

I'm not ready for a relationship
Maybe when I am, it can be you and me
But for now I need my space and my time
I need to figure out who I want to be
