What I Want To Be
I want to be hesitant, yet confident.
I want to stay vanished, yet to be seen.
I want to be spoken, yet silent.
You, want me to be soft, yet I am strident;
However,
I want to be learned, yet unlearned.
I want to be attentive, yet distracted.
I want to be realistic, yet in search of some fantasies.
You, want me to be sophisticated, yet I am naïve.
I want to be inconsiderate, yet kind.
I want to be loved, yet hated.
I want to be noticed, yet ignored.
You, want me to be reserve, yet expressive.
I want to be comprehended, yet misinterpret.
I want to be near, yet distant.
You, want me to be healed? Yet I am hurt.
Therefore,
I want to be an extrovert, yet an introvert.
