i want to be u

no no.. not like u, but u. i want to be u

think about this for a minute. think about how u would react if someone told u that who u are as a person is the one that is holding u back. and worse, deep down, u wanted to agree with them. u knew they were right. so, would u do it?

it's a cruel world out there. they were telling u to stay true to urself but secretly, they wish u were a different person. would u change? would u become someone that let u live what u wanted? would u cast aside the person that is holding u back completely and fully to assume a brand new role that doesn’t resemble the old u in the least?

and truth be told, we wear different faces all the time. a student, a son, a friend, a lover, a leader... each part of us yearns to be someone else. more confident, more go getter, more fortunate, more intelligent.. and if u had the chance, would u do it? would u take on a role that makes opportunity possible, makes life easier and makes ur dream become reality. but more importantly, who would u be?

the grass is always greener on the other side. i don't know why but at this time and space, i wish i could be u. not like u... but u.
