Unique Desires

Dreams and DesiresPoetry
Artwork by: Andrea Huang

So many thoughts to think about
Childhood memories bring me some joy
Dreaming about being a superstar
Or being a princess and having a fortress
Not so sure! Wake up!

They seem so easy to achieve
Except now I know there are instruments that aren’t easy to play
Many trolls to fight and no prince charming to help me

I just have a few desires
To be what I want, what I fought for
I am not a princess, I am not a superstar
I am unique! I am me!
To live every day with joy
With gratitude and love
Not waiting for someone or something

The status of my life depends on me
I can dream big!
Small steps, yes! Perhaps big steps
Perhaps start, that’s a start
I will accomplish my purpose
The unique desire of being me!
