i dont want to be me

.

instead of me, i wish i could be…

.

a beautiful bird, high in the tree…
so, i could fly far, far away and be free.

OR

.

a strong grizzly bear, living naturally…

so, no-one could ever attack me.

OR

.

a hard-shelled turtle, near the sea…

so, i could hide inside and no-one could get me.

OR

.

a cheetah that runs so gracefully…

so, i could escape when people want to hurt me.

OR

.

an amazing sponge, found deep in the sea…

so, i can’t hear all the bad words yelled at me.

OR

.

a snake so dangerous and deadly…

so, i can fight back to protect me.

OR

.

a whale so ferocious, it’s feared in the sea…

so, no-one could ever, ever hurt me.

i wish, i wish, i wish…you see,

…that i was anything, but me.
