where i'd like to be

i can't help but wonder
who are you

really?

you are not a name

or an age, or a gender.

your height, your weight

or your hometown

doesn't show who you actually

are.

you are your favourite songs

and the books you always quote to. 

you are the movies you watch at midnight 

and your thoughts at 4 am,

when you suffer from insomnia.

you can describe yourself best 

by how you drink your coffee

and the way 

you treat animals.

you are a thousand small things

and yet everyone chooses to see

those things you 

are not.

you are not your hometown,

you are the place you're going to

and i'd love to get there

one day.
