just one

September 30, 2009

There are so many things I want to be; there are so many things I just couldn’t be.

Poet. Storyteller. There is just something beautiful in words that rhyme and something fantastic in the macabre themes of Poe. The subtleties are mysterious and sublime. I tried writing a story once; after it was done, there was only discontent in what seemed to be an all too familiar soap opera plot. It was disappointing really, sacrificing a night of sleep for some piece of paper that neither has value nor form.

I have accepted since then that I am not made for it, and I just couldn’t be it. At least I can make good letters, and at least I can appreciate a good story when I read one. From time to time, I can compose a nice essay, but that’s just about it. Even when I become too old and wasting time looking for the best wrinkle creams and their promise of eternal youth, I know I couldn’t compose one immortal poem.

At times though, like this one, I wish I could make even just one.

“…there are so many things I just couldn’t be”

but don’t you forget: there are so many things that you already are.

Before you know it, you are already what you are wanting yourself to be. =)

There are so many thing we want to be, and yet, there are also people wanting to be us…
