I Wish I Could Be Someone Else. Poem by Ibrar Siddiqi

In my being, as me.
I wish I was built like Adonis.
A man, that every woman would lustfully desire.
Wish for long dark hari like Samsom.
Wish for strength to carry on.
Wish I could be rich to do some good.
Save a few lives if I could..

Be a super hero like like Batman.
Make good and fight crime.
Wish i could be someone else than me.
I'd gladly swap with anyone rich.
Save the worries for when I am old.
When I am alone and cold.
Wish I had a guardian angel who'd make my life better.
Or, once in a while send me a letter.
Lift me from a deep rut.
My enemies and critics mouths.
Like vault doors, firmly shut.
I wish I could be someone else.
