The Secret

By dlb

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I too, am indulging in one clever idea after another I think it would be nice to rule the world Me and my nations Me and mine I could fall in deep and nuzzle with the planets As a power A major power I'd have all the power I could be a hero I could be special I would be adored My people would never get over me My supervision would help guide the way Because control is never simple Life is just not cut and dry Under all the buzz Within the spin of things Confined in the middle of nowhere Lies a shy girl an insecure girl Underneath it all stands a little girl with big dreams.
