Chasing A dream That can be harder than it seems There was a time When I was Young That I wanted to be Just like my mom, The cosmetologist I grew up And killed that dream Because it doesn't pay well Then I wanted To be a famous musician And play in a band With all of my friends and for some time I did That all ended When I reminded myself That catching fame Is like catching a star Something so close Can only be far So I started to draw My own manga Started to write My own stories Knowing No one would ever read them Knowing No one would ever care Not once did I try to Make a life from it Because living out of stories Wouldn't get me anywhere So now I am to be a medical coder Chasing something that is Not at all what I wanted to be
