Person I Want To Be Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Deeply feeling emptiness of life as I walk through the
desert, leaving everything behind, missing nothing, wanting
to find a place where I can be the person I want to be.

Instead of being quiet, timid, shy, wanting to be boister-
ous, outgoing, the life of the party, yet something stands
in the way, for I am introverted.

Not really created for extroversion in this world, always
thinking, pondering, writing both poetry and music while
painting portraits from memory.

Going from one to another without a rest or break, mind
filled with an energy of anticipation that has kept me
going day and night through all these years so far.
