What if I wasn't what I was meant to be?
And I was something else?
Something scary and odd
And unlike myself?
Maybe I'm a sea creature
With tentacles instead of arms
Or maybe a jungle animal
Out to do harm?
Maybe I'm a fairy
Casting magic everywhere,
Or maybe I'm a black witch
Watch out, beware!
Maybe I'm a friendly mouse
Out to take refuge in your house,
Or maybe I'm a curious cat
Being cautious about this and that.
Maybe I’m a spirited sprite
About to take flight,
Or maybe I’m a creature of the night
A bat or phooka, keeping out of sight.
Or maybe I’m just me
Daydreaming about what I could be
Maybe that’s very true
And I was just trying to impress you!
