I'm gonna be..

I'm gonna be..

A Poem by Melinda

Everyone stands a little bit taller
On those days when I feel small-
When it seems everyone's got
everything I don't
I think I've got nothing at all.

 

I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be something someday
Let's hope I find
I'm not too far behind
Before it's too late.

 

Somedays I feel like a real big fish
Swimming in circles in a tiny pool
But then I spy the ocean on the other side of the wall
And I'm not a big fish, I'm a great
Big fool.

 

I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be someone someday
Let's hope I find
A new state of mind
Before it's too late.

 

Right now I'm not even sure where to start
Is in my mind, or is it in my heart?
I'm tired of being a big girl
Crying and lying to myself,
And I hope I'm not too blind to see
The one responsible is me.
Time's on my side, and it's a great big world
when you climb down off of your shelf.

 

I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be myself someday.
Let's hope I find
That my life is mine
Before its too late.

 

Let's hope I find
I can cross my own lines
Before it's too late.

About
Everything I told you about myself is terribly outdated. In my own defense I'm just lousy at keeping in touch. P.S. I love you (giggle) more..

Writing
Cold, Man. Cold, Man.
