I want to grow up

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

Standing out against

Each time a leaf falls
Another heart shatters
Each time the wind blows
Another break up
But each time a pumpkin is carved
A date is planned
Each time a cider donut is devoured
Another kiss
