I Want to Be Great

Why do I care so much what people think of me
Shouldn’t I like myself for who I am?
The stereotypes, the clichés, they are not what I am inspiring to be
I want to be great, but something is wrong
I feel I am being knocked down a ladder
Tumbling and falling to my great and sudden demise
I wanted to be great
I guess I am great at failing
For it is me, who knocked myself down the large black ladder
Later realizing, how all could have been different
For it is me who brought myself to my end
But still something is strangely wrong
And not easy
If I don’t work my way back up the ladder
I begin to sink in my woes, trouble and sorrows
Eventually leaving myself to die a cold and
lonely death
I wanted to be great
But am I great enough to pick myself up?
I know I have to try, but what if I don’t want
to?
Will someone be there for me to help in my time of need?
It all depends on who comes running and willing to aide me
Or will everyone just turn away and not give me
another thought?
I want to be great
So I will try to rise up on my own
I get up from the hole I created
Leaving behind my fears and doubts
For it is me who created my new beginning
What shall I do first?
Climb the ladder over again?
Or make amends and start where I left off?
For it is me and only me
Who can make that decision...
I want to be great
And so I am
