Trying to be the best.


The person I am is not the person I want to be,

the person I want to be has, he,

the person I was yesterday is not the person I am today,

the person I am today is just a stray,

the person I want to be has learned all the "lessons",

the person I want to be knows her plan,

she has no messes,

when I get to who I want to be,

will i finally see,

that the person I am today,

is okay.
