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

Can
And
Can't
Do
This is not ok
You think
Just because
When you were born
And the nurse held you up
Saying,
"It's a boy"

I don't know what it is

I have never wanted
Something more than I do now
The problem is
I don't know what
I don't know what
I long for
What I reach for
It's like a dream
Blurry and unrecognizable
I want this thing

Reporters

In the car
After dark
With the headlights shining
On the wet pavement
Like stars on the ground
I curl up in my seat
And the news is on
Voices fill the car
Not my own
Not my dads
