I Am Horribly Limited

by Sylvia Plath

I can never read all the books I want;
I can never be all the people I want
and live all the lives I want.
I can never train myself in all the skills
I want. And why do I want to? I want to
live and feel all the shades, tones, and
variations of mental and physical
experience possible in life.
And I am horribly limited.
