                I WANT TO ...
                =============

I dont want to be a bird soaring in the high skies
I dont want to be a comet blazing through the universe
I dont want to be a lion ruling the jungle
I dont want to be a prince feasting on caviar
I dont want to be an angel worshiped on a pedestal
I dont want to be a dolphin riding the ocean waves
I dont want to be a model who should be emulated
I dont want to be a midas counting his gold

BUT

I want to lie in bed and hear the patter on the panes
I want to read the tragedies and feel the pain
I want to read the comedies and laugh my heart out
I want to climb the mountain and breathe the fresh air
I want to camp in the jungle and listen to the silence
I want to walk on the beach and get my feet wet
I want to dance in the downpour and taste the raindrops
I want to jog in the park and smell the moist earth
I want to walk in the woods and see the morning dew
I want to ski down the hill and feel the wind
I want to hold snow in my hand and feel it melt
I want to hold her in my arms and feel her warmth
I want to be in need and be needed by someone

BUT

Here i am shackled to my duties
caught in the vortex of the world
Where I live not for me
I work not for satisfaction
but to fulfill expectations
I have been taught to compete
I have been trained to succeed
but sadly i have not been shown how to live...
