I want to grow up

By Gali

I can't wait

To grow up and see

Every

Single

Opportunity

That no one

Will ever

Give me

Because I'm a kid

I haven't had experience

But only because

I've never had

A chance

People ask me

What do you what to do

When you grow up

I say my dream job

That I have known since

When I was six

And

I say

When I grow up

I want to change the world

But I don't want to wait

All I want

Is to make

An impact

On everybody who

Cares

All I want

Is to be able

To make a choice

Instead of someone making one

For me

    And the same urge for freedom

    As Rapunzel

    Let me tell you a story

    About a girl

    Gotten Good At Pretending

    I've gotten pretty good

    At pretending

    Some nights

    I fall asleep

    And wake up with 

    Red puffy eyes

    But I go to school

    With a smile on my face

    And hope no one notices

    That a bit of light
