Just Wanna Be


When I was a baby

I wanted to be a tot

When I was a toddler

I saw that I did not.


When I was a big kid

I wanted to be a teen

But then I just wanted to be grown up

Do you see now what I mean?


I always wanted to be me

But an older, wiser version

And then I played the games of love

Fighting hard to stay a virgin.


When I was a woman

I wanted yet to be a girl

But the girl I'd been wanting so to be

A woman of the world.


I never wanted to be old

But live young and wild and free

I wanted life on my own terms

But a younger, wiser me.


I can't be sure just what I want

In living day to day 

But it's so true, I'm telling you

I've always been this way.


I want what I cannot obtain

I loathe the things I own

I need to have what I cannot have

And I want my old things gone.


Oh, I've worked hard for what I've got

Of that, make no mistake

And I have more than my fair share

And what I've got is great.


But here I find myself back there

At indecision's door

I've got too much stuff on my plate

But I think I still need more.


Sure, I collect my favorite things

I have my expensive tastes

I like the luxuries of life

But I let them go to waste.


........sigh......


What should I do, I ask of you?

What would you say to me?

For your opinion is all I want

And your happiness to see.


You see, I am a mixed up girl

I have been all my days

I've gathered things I had to have

And then just walked away.


But there's one thing I must tell you

And it's certain, not a maybe

I said all that to just say this...

I just wanna be your baby.

  1. Beautiful poem, Voo! I’ve never seen this one…….
    “We were as one babe
    For a moment in time………..” I love this first line from “Always be my baby”.
