   I'd like to be whoever I damn well please.
   The world around me does not prevent this, but the demons dwelling inside.

   I want to feel compassion. I want to feel kind.
   I want the courage to leave jealousy and hatred behind.

   When I think of the people who have changed my life,
   I wonder why I'm not more like them.

   Sincerity, support, and genuine, smiling eyes.
   What makes me lesser in character?
   Why do I lack that love toward mankind?

   A mindfulness of this, I hope, will change me in time.
   I'll mold my character and be the light we all hope to find.
