The Person I Long To Be
© By Victoria A. Mogyorosi
The day light breaks again
Another day has begun.
But still no sleep has come.
My body is weary
My mind overworked.
I lie awake thinking
But what I am unsure.
I need to break free from the cycle I endure.
Everyday is the same and the nights are undistinguished.
I feel as though I am being pushed along with the tide
Unable to break free from the everyday flow.
This is not me I need to change, before time takes over
And I am unable to change.
I need to be freed from the grasp of ordinary
And become that person I have always longed for.
Express myself in every way, and conquer the dreams as I lie awake.
Then I may fall asleep and put my mind to rest.
Make changes in my life and help those in need.
I would like to touch everyone's life in a positive way
And leave my mark on society before I fade away.
When I first read this poem I was sort of annoyed. It sounded like whining to me. When I took a moment to really sit and think about it, I think I was annoyed because at one point in my life I could relate to it. The desire for things to change but waking up everyday doing nothing about it.
Personal power is a very useful tool. We all have it. Some of us know how to purposely tap into it, some intuitively. The rest have to learn. This can best be achieved when we take responsibility for ourselves and gain realistic perspective. I would love to do something that would change the world. It's a grand idea. However, why fantansize of the world, if we are not willing to take a risk and start with ourselves. THAT is not only a grand idea, but a true feat.
