When I Grow Up I Want To Be...

Strong, but I don't want to rule the world.
I want to be a woman, but I want to be a girl.
I want to be powerful, but I want to be weak.
I want to be proud and confident, but I want to be meek.
I want to tell people exactly what I think;
but I don't my opinions to put friendships on the brink.
I want to be happy with exactly who I am, 
but always have that yearning to improve the best I can.
I want to be satisfied with being by myself,
but I want to satisfy the need of being with someone else.
I want to be independent and take care of myself,
but I want to push my pride aside when I'm in need of someone's help.
I want to be outgoing and talk to strangers easily.
but I want to be quiet and watch people perceivingly.
I want to show my love for people I care for,
but I don't want to waste my love when there's someone who deserves it more.
I want to show emotions more, like happiness, on my face,
but I want to keep emotions, like hatred, in it's place.
I want to always show that I put other people first,
but I want to always have time for me before I begin to burst.
I want to have my priorities perfectly set in line,
but I want to have some fun and not worry about the time.
Now you know the good and bad points of every part of me.
These are the things I wish to do and who I want to be.
