All My Life I Wanted to Be

All I ever wanted to be was wanted
accepted for who
and what I am.1

For someone to look at me
and see
who I truly am.
Not what they wanted me
to be.2

All I ever wanted to be
was loved.
To be touched with gentleness
and kindness.3

For passion to ignite
into a burning flame
til two lovers become one.4

All I ever wanted to be
was the girl inside
not the one outside looking in.5

All I ever wanted
was to be...6

    I like it. Though...I think that in some places, like 'All I ever wanted to be was loved. To be touched with gentleness and kindness.', it's a simple stanza that is easy to understand, which is ok and good. Then in places like, 'For passion to ignite into a burning flame til two lovers become one.', it's complex and takes a bit of thought. I think you should go either way. Either simple or complex. Not a mix.

    Overall, though, it's great. Wonderful work.
