The Doorway

Sometimes I wish I could be

As careless as you

As free-spirited as you

As outgoing as you

As friendly and charming as you

As captivating and mysterious as you

As non-questioning as you

As determined and strong-willed as you

As happy as you seem to be

As happy as I hope you really are

As happy as I wish to one day be

Sometimes I wish I could be you.

Now that's strange

For most of the time I pride myself

On being different then you

Maybe even

Better then you

But now I just wish

You could teacher me

How to be You.

Sometimes it strikes me that you might be living your life better then I do mine.
