I want to live— not that I want to be a escapee, rather I want to be the kind that— If I were a pencil, let me be the sharpest tip. If I were a race, let me be the fastest stride. If I were a wing, let me reach the highest air. If I were a fragrance, let me be the softest trace that lingers. I only want — to live in the truest shape of the life I chose.

want to live..
I want to live— not that I want to be a escapee, rather I want to be the kind that— If I were a pencil, let me be the sharpest tip. If I were a race, let me be the fastest stride. If I were a wing, let me reach the highest air. If I were a fragrance, let me be the softest trace that lingers. I only want — to live in the truest shape of the life I chose.
My actions are falling far behind my aspirations....
