Just For A Day

Just for a day I want to step outside
of myself - 
To see me as others do.

Just for a day I want to walk where
others have tread -
To see where else I could go.

Just for a day I want to cease
being who I am -
To see who else I could be.

Just for a day I want to silence
my inner thoughts -
To watch all the demons flee.

Yet there is no such day approaching.
My wishes shall remain unfilled.
I must remain just as I am. And,
On this foundation tear and rebuild.
