There is a wish I hold dear to my heart

To live a simple life

I hold as my deepest regard

For even the thought of this wish

Is like the stabbing of a shard

 

I wish with great desire to be a shark

To be a swimmer and simply a swimmer

A beautiful absence of identity

I will know nothing

Other than I am a swimmer,

A swimmer with a colossal appetite 

 

For the sake of my sanity, I wish to be an ant

To know nothing expect, I’m tiny and strive to survive 

I’m now worth a thousand ants, yet

They may still roam my home without worry

For they stay grounded on their own world

 

When I dream, I wish to be a windflower

To carry no burdensome thoughts

I shall sit in the sun’s rapture at day

And patiently await it’s magnificence at night

Or I will be picked by a poor roaming child

 

Since childhood, I've hoped to grow to be a child

To be wanderer of wonder and explore my vast home

I will appreciate its undeniable preciousness

For my home will be my invaluable world

And I’ll see with wondering eyes

It is the same for my fellow neighbors
