There once was a child living wild and free
Within that child are an abundance of dreams
To become anything his mind wishes to be.
One day the moon glistens and seduces his eye
And the white puffy suits begin to suit his mind.
A week later his minds ideas begin to diversify.
He sees a hero in blue show what he can do, so,
Now he wants to grow up and catch bad guys too.
In another week or two that idea will be through.
Next thing you know, he’s playing catch with dad
Watching ball on TV thinking “That would be rad!”
But that doesn’t last and he decides to move past
Because as you grow up you find out who you are
And realize that not everyone can be a shining star.
Rather, be your own star, that’s what’ll take you far.


Time flies by and this child is now a grown man.
His mind has matured and he developed a plan
To become as successful and happy as he can.
He still misses the days where he could dream
Of anything his mind could dream to be, but,
He knows you must be blind before you can see.
Now he’s is the real world doing what he loves.
He worked for what he wanted and never gave up
When life threw a curveball he put on a catchers glove.

It doesn’t take a man to fill a boy’s shoes
It takes a boy to fill a man’s shoes.
In other words,
Don’t let people tell you what to do with your life.
You were born with your own two feet
To eventually walk in your own two shoes.
If you let someone fill your own shoes
You will lose the feet you were born with to walk on.
Instead of living a life in the driver seat
You have to settle as a passenger
Letting the driver control your direction.
Just a random poem I wrote about a kid growing up with dreams.
