I’ve opened up
to the possibility
of being
of being something different
of being something new
of being something nobody
thought I could be
of being something beyond
recognition
of being something beautiful
of being something wonderful
of being something I am proud of
for once
of being something above
what I was before
I dream of this
I wish of this
I know of this
I act on this
I dream to be a singer
of unimagined tunes
I dream to be a winner
of contests unknown
I dream to be a leader
of people without
the ability to move
forward
I dream to be a teacher
of unspoken things
I dream to be a successor
of every free-
thinker and
innovator
I dream to be an original
in a world bent
on unoriginality
I want.
I will.
be.
all of this.
every last bit.
I will be.
I will be.
I am being,
all of this.
all of
it.
