Somebody

A Poem by Tenten

You want me to be

Something I'm not ready to be

That child prodigy I never was

That genius I am not

Trapped in your dreams of grandeur

Serving a purpose to the goals you never met

Forcing your dreams onto me

Fitting a skin not my size into your picture perfect

Flawed life style far gone from my aspirations

Of free will free love of peace and commonality

I'm pouring the rain on your perceptions of who I am

Who I will become
