Who Am I? (Poem)

Not all art has to be painted or framed,
Especially not mine,
Because I'm not as talented as Oprah.
I'm lost like Alice,
As mad as the Hatter.
A little variant in society, right alongside Loki.
I have a logical mind like Pearl,
Despite trying to seem more like a Steven.
I dream of flying with Peter Pan,
But I'm stuck on Earth in the real world.
A viewer, not a doer.
Making dreams rather than memories,
Longing and hoping,
Instead of deciding and jumping.
I wish I was
As motivated as Tiana,
As strong as Mulan,
As confident as Jasmine.
But here I am, trapped in the mundane,
Another Walter Mitty,
Surrounded by entire cities of Tony Starks,
Unable to make it across the doorstep.
Dreaming for someone to take my hand,
Give me a bit of pixie dust,
And teach me to fly.
