someone else's mirror

hmm
i want to wake up one day, and all of the sudden be.

i want to be

the person

i've always wished
i could be

but i wonder..
is that worth
the possibility

of losing
the ability
to dream?

or instead,
does it underestimate
the painful diligence
and hope-filled wonder
with which a person
persists,
thriving on
their ability

to keep on
dreaming?
