Others tell me "What Do You Want To

Be"

I say "Nothing just a kid"

Then years later they ask me again

"What Do You Want To Be"

and I say "to be a teen"

Then finally years later they say

"What is your choice?" And I say

"My choice is what I need to be."

They are confused, unprepared for

this answer, because only I know

what I want to be but it takes more

thought to think about what you

need to be.
