How many of us are who we want to be?

Is who you want to be even possible, or is it an ideal

How many of us can even juggle

Between who we are,

And who we believe we are,

And who we wish we were,

Or want to be.

How many of us are honest enough  

To remember the lies we chose to tell ourselves

Then later chose to believe

And then chose not to blame ourselves

For believing the lies we told ourselves to believe in the first place

No matter, this mess..

Can anyone be anything other than what they are?

Does free will count?

Is what you want to be, who you aspire towards,

A measure of being, a metric of your worth?

Well, fittingly, turns out that that’s up to you

If you believe you are the master of your ship,

The captain of your soul,

Then yes, absolutely

If you don’t,

Prepare to spend eternity with the insects
