I wish...

 What's on my mind ? 

I wish I knew how to draw

Even just a cat !

I wish I knew how to paint

But I'm colour blind !

I can float a bit

But can hardly swim

Definitely not enough to save my life

But I displace water nevertheless.

I wish I was not so claustrophobic 

That enclosed places didn't suffocate me

In my mind!

I wish I was taller 

5 feet seven isn't much to boast about

I wish I were slimmer

A paunch is definitely not appealing 

I wish I was like those handy guys

Fixing switches and intricate electrical connections

Those bulging muscles..

Sawing wood to size 

And producing tables and stools and shelves with ease and dexterity. 

With drills , tools and a few screws .

Have often wished I were smarter 

Not an Einstein or a Zuckerberg 

But just a little cleverer 

Maybe in Math ,science, and things 

That matter. 

But then again 

I am who I am

I am unique in my own quirky , silly way 

And for that, I am proud.

I am me!
