If I could...

If I could be a little more serious...
If I could be a little more focused...
If I could concentrate more on my studies,
and spend less worrying,
I might reach the desired...the sloughed after...

If I could be a little more intelligent,
or a well-versed linguist,
or maybe a talented genius,
(which I'd been daydreaming for)
I'll be one perfectionist,
(whom no one will ever be)...

If I could choose to be what I really want to be,
I won't feel left out,
I won't feel the despair,
I won't feel aimless,
I won't feel helpless...

If only I could...

you certainly can!!! keep trying and never give up.
just want to share these words
"We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act "– Swami Vivekananda
