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

  • Silver arms

    Silver arms

    Reaching up

    Delicate

    And yet bearing

    Weight

    A big middle

    Rough

    Covered in patterned skin

    Big enough

    That my arms don't

    Wrap around

    The course outside

  • The moon

    Bathing me in a ghoulish glow

    Brightening the dark

    Staring at me

    Barely disturbed

    All the way up there

    Floating among

    The stars

    Simply being

    Bathing me in a ghoulish glow

    I love the moon
