they said i could be whatever i wanted to be
president, actress, astronaut
my limit was beyond the sky
i didn’t have one at the time
but growing up changes things
they say “you need a job that makes money”
life becomes more permanent
deadlines approach
decisions need to be made
and I sit here
dreaming of everything i could be
half my head in the clouds
the other half’s on the ground
part wishing
part wanting
