Realize! Poem by Ashwin Alex

Torn between the real and wanna be,
findng myself in distress once again,
waiting for that moment to come by
what'll should i need to do to become the wanna be?

Wish i had the courage to own the life dreamt of,
always missing what i never had,
thoughts of if's and but's linger around
will i ever realize the greenery on my side?

Though people say its worthless to live upon dreams,
doesn't dreams have longing desires?
wish i had wings to get close to the man i wished
wish someone would heal the wounds left by my dreams

Wish i could find joy and laughter once more
to face the fleeting moment with the same passion of my dreams!
wish i could remain without regrets as my life draws to an end!
wish i could be the wanna be someday!
someday, i'll be what i ought to be an not a wanna be!
