And I’m a good listener.
So here you go.
I want a life less ordinary.
I want expensive shoes
And
I want to fit
in
Any pair I choose
I want exotic stamps in my passport
And an address book so full it won’t close
I want breakfast at noon
And I want to memorize a really good joke book
I want to make art with food
And sing the blues
I want to be somebody’s muse
I want to fly first class
and watch your eyes
As we land on a continent
You recognize
Only from a globe
And stories I told
I want to smile
At the reflection in the mirror
Even if it’s a little bit bigger
Than a year ago
Or more
I want to forgive you for
What you did before
Because it makes sense
To let the little things
Go
I want to
Write
Something
important
And meaningful
And
Strong
What’s wrong
With that?
I want permission
To progress
At my pace
Towards my finish line
In my own race
Permission granted. Keep writing, it’s good.
