What will I be
When I grow up?
I can be
A doctor, lawyer
Or an Indian chief
Who cares?
Why does it matter?
Can't I just
Be a kid?
It's more fun.
But I suppose
I have to
Earn my keep
In order to support myself
And my family.
Maybe I'll be
A detective, writer,
Reporter or teacher
I don't know.
To me it seems
All that I
Want to be
Is myself.
