What Do I Want?

I want to be a mystery, yet be known 
I want to be together, yet alone 
Is it too much to ask, To be famous yet unknown? 
To be a wanderer, yet have a home? 
My insecurity makes me sick, 
Yet my confidence makes me thick 
Can I be harmless, yet grip the stick, 
Be completely smooth yet have a nick? 
Can I live in a lie, yet be true 
Can I be unique, yet so like you? 
Have no control, yet know what to do? 
Can I be ugly, yet beautiful too? 
Answer me, I need your help, 
Can you help me or someone else? 
I need your help, can’t you see, 
Are you even listening to me?
