All Gown Up
November 11, 2014
At 5, I told my mum that
I wanted to be a teacher,
at 6, procliamed to my father that
I wanted to be nothing else but a popstar,
and with every year,or months...or seconds
I changed my mind.
what happened to that freedom?
to that self-belief?
but I have it now mum, dad-
I hope you can hear me through these written words;
when i grow up, I want to
be free
to live, to travel, to
breathe...
but it's eleven years from 5. . .
so I guess I am grown up.
