I am about to come vs I want to come

The phrases are both acceptable, but they have somewhat dissimilar meanings. 'I am about to come' implies that the action of coming is imminent or very close to happening, while 'I want to come' expresses a desire or intention to come without specifying the timing. The choice between the two depends on whether you want to emphasize the immediacy of the action or simply express a wish to come.
