What Do You Want?

I want to go far,
Up the ladder
Tackling my stubborn pride
By satiating its hunger
And watching the city from above
 
I want to go far
Across the pond
We skip, we frolic
We dance under the moonlight
Next to stars rearranged
 
I want to go far,
Stretching and grabbing
Onto the ideas of the Plato and his contemporaries
I’ll be one too,
Even if the world doesn’t know
 
I want to go far
Into the wardrobe
Of my back closest
We’ll befriend centaurs
And no one will judge
 
Because I’ll be happy... Enough
 
Right?
