I Want...

I want

A minute of your time,
Or as much as you can spare.
I want to be understood,
Yet make you wonder
What remains beneath my surface
And is yet to be revealed.
I want to have courage
To dig deeper to those places
Of intense thoughts and desire
That we all have, but few share.
I wonder what your reaction would be
If you only knew?
I want to be humble,
Yet keep my cockiness.
Make you think
And feel,
Laugh
And cry.
Maybe even shock you sometimes.
I want more compassion and understanding in the world.
I want to bring people together,
I don't know if I can but I'll try until it hurts.
I want to scream out against responsibility,
Authority and political correctness.
I want to stay passionate,
Intense,
And curious about everything.
I want to be loved
And accepted.

Perhaps most of all,
I want to be remembered
As someone
Who made even a small difference
In your life.
