I Want

I want my appearance to be like fireworks, so I can be admired for once

I want to be a shield from sticks and stones, that would fall upon the innocents bones

I want to teach those how to fish, not give them the fish

I want to be like water, I want to slip through fingers, but hold up a ship

I want to go for the thrills on the roller coaster

While others play it safe on the merry-go-round

I want to be like the others that get the new gear, or is privileged into it

But only I to remain the plain old same

Like plain Jane

For now
