Blueprint

I have searched

For years to find

The blueprint

That people have tried

Oh so hard to follow

It is now that I realize

There is no blueprint

No one gets to design me

And be the architect

That people try to make me be

The idea that they had in their head

The blueprint

When I imagine it

It is in a big room

High above the ground

Looking down on me

In the room there is the

Blueprint

On a pedestal

Open to a page with my name

And a sketch

Of me

But now I know

That there is no blueprint

I am my own architect

I will make my own blueprint
