If I had my way
I'd absorb every book,
Memorize every poem,
Soak in classic art,
And lose myself in films.
Black-and-white,
Color, sepia–
Dark and gray,
Dreams come in
Every shade.
I want to have lovely and
Vivid dreams with
Familiar voices
And startling colors.
If I had my way
I'd discuss philosophy,
Beauty and song with
Every stranger I find.
As if I knew.
I don't want to know everything,
I want to feel everything.
I'd relate to everyone,
Be a friend to all,
If I had my way.
If I had my way.

Oooh, love this poem. This one pretty much expresses what I wish my life could look like. Especially the first and fourth stanzas — sometimes I just want to kidnap people and make them discuss beauty and reality and meaning with me.
I know! It’s so hard to make them listen. They think we’re weird! But we need to vent! It makes me so frustrated :P
