I always wanted
to be
clever
I always wanted
to be
like no one
I always wanted
to be
confident
I always wanted to be
the one

Snake my way out
Of an unmanageable situation
Or two
Make my friends
Want to be me
Engross lovers too
To the point that they couldn't bear
Not a second
With another
Softly whispering
One

Con
Cheat
Steal
Get away with it all
Live
Life on the edge
No need
For anyone
Just me
Myself
And the world
My oyster
I'd just stick out my palm
And in would fall
Infinity
