tanvi damle - I Am

I sit in the terrace, gazing at the starry sky,
and think about the answer to the question, 'Who am I? '
I am a girl who wants to be young forever,
but I'm a girl who also wants to grow up and be someone that everyone will remember.
I'm a girl who wants to stay in the protected world my parents have built for me,
but I'm also a girl who wants to touch the sky and break free.
I want to be happy and dance in the rain,
but I also wanna cry for the unfortunate and feel their pain.
I want to be wise and go towards the sun ray,
but i also want to be a fool, trust my heart and go the other way.
I'm a girl who always wants her life to go towards light,
but I'm also a girl who wants to be able to make it through the night.
I always want to be right, win every race,
but i also want to be able to lose and accept it with grace.
I'm a girl who always wants to go up, make ends meet,
but I'm also a girl who wants to be able to fall down and have the courage to get back on my feet.
Who am I? What kind of a human being?
I'm right, I'm wrong, I'm everything.
