I want to be invited
Sometimes I want to be left alone
I want to feel important
Sometimes I want to be unknown

I want to be the greatest
I want to be among the best
I want to be advantageous
Because I want to achieve success

I want to shine with the stars
Sometimes I want to read in the dark
I want to write from my heart
Because it's wisdom I want to impart

On the ones who take time to notice
To open this book and read
Love for mankind is the central focus
Essential to poetry
