raised** to be poise
to become a doctor
to have a family
to wait until marriage
to attend church every sunday
to do everything by the rules
to live a life I don't want to live

I want to be free

I want to travel the world
to seek answers to questions I don't even have yet
to donate my time, helping those who can't help themselves
to find love in mysterious ways
to finish a hundred books
to do something reckless
to have no responsibilities
to go backpacking
to learn new languages
to write a book
to go sky diving
to do a million more things
to live my own life
