Who I’d be

I’ve been asked many times who I want to be. Usually this is in the reference of what I want to be when I’m older, or if I want to be kind, smart or talented. But for me that wasn’t the question I heard. If I could be anyone, if I could step into anyone else’s shoes for a day, who would it be, who would I be? This is the question I’ve always wanted to answer. 

For most of my life if you had asked me I would have said someone in my school. I never wanted to be a famous person or someone with lots of money. I wanted to try someone I knew life. They would have to be in my class because that’s the only way I could really make a change. If you ask me now though I would say one of my teachers.

I wanna know what goes through their minds. I wanna know why they do what they do. I need to get an understanding of them. Sometimes they show who their favorites are just a little to much. Is it on purpose? I want to step into the shoes of being a teacher.

  • Is it enough?


    If not now, when? A question that is as old as time, a question that has haunted people for many years. This is a simple question and yet it difficult to answer.
  • Perfect day

    You wake up,

    It’s quarter till nine. 

    Birds are chirping on a warm summer's day. 

    You crawl out of bed and feel completely awake.
    It’s the perfect breakfast,

    A ham and cheese omelet.
  • The Truth

    Why is it always asked what we like about ourselves?
    Why don’t we ask the interesting questions?
    Why not ask about what we don’t like?
    Why not write about the truth? 

    Is it too negative, too real.
