What I Want To Be (02)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.
