Want

What do I want
to do,
to be.

How do I do
what I want
or  be who I am
when I am just pretending
to be doing what I want
and being who I am.

Is it just acting the part?
Or am I doing what I want
and being myself,
just with the dream
of doing something different
in another skin.

How to reconcile the many
parts of me. The doer, the dreamer,
the person, the actor, the creator,
the one stuck in the monotonous
dream wishing she wasn't.
