Who I Want to be

How would I describe myself,

Who do I want to be?

Is the question everyone seems to want

An answer for from me.

I play guitar, mandolin, trumpet,

Piano, violin: I am a musician,

Strumming chords, hitting notes,

Fingers flying into position.

I love to read; I’ve bookshelves full

Of novels, stories, tales.

When sad, lonely, glad, or other,

Their comfort never fails.

An all A student, top ten percent,

I am intelligent, top of my class.

High test scores, good grades,

College offers en masse.

A few close friends I spend time with,

Prefer to work alone.

Introvert – Don’t go out much;

I’d rather be at home.

I also like to give and get

Gifts, presents, and the like.

With Christmas just around the corner,

Those opportunities will spike!

So there it is, how I am,

My personality.

That’s how I describe myself,

I’m who I want to be.
