When I was five, I wanted to become an artist
When I was seven, a veterinarian
When I was eight, a doctor
When I was ten, an author
When I was eleven. I wanted to be dead
I wanted to face death
I wanted to dig a hole six feet underneath your footsteps
When I was twelve, I found a voice without the use of my voice
When I was thirteen, I wanted to become a poet
When I was fourteen, I shared my silent voice with others
I am now fifteen, almost sixteen. and I am anything I want to become
I am everything I want to be
