writing under a pseudonym

we wish
we were taller, or lighter
on our feet,
more handsome
or pretty.
we wish for more than
what we have.
more money.
a bigger house,
a faster car,
better parents
better in-laws.
a tad more
fortune and 
a spoonful of fame
perhaps
more courage, more brains,
more of everything.
are we ever truly content
and happy?
doubtful.
sometimes we even
want to change our name.
