We've all been asked this question And we all had an idea when we were young. Doctors, Lawyers, Astronauts. It was a beautiful dream. But when we realised That reality isn't as beautiful We were all at a loss for words We all were lost. We thought we had to choose something Stable. Boring. We thought we had To narrow our thinking To society's standards Until one day We stopped. We stopped thinking wisely And using that logical part of our brain Telling us to be smarter Instead we decided To go in the direction Of something That gave us hope. Something that Made us feel alive. And from that day onwards We're in this dream Living in the state of wonder and beauty. Constantly Living. And after all this time We finally realised That if people had to ask us the question "What do you want to become?" We'd still be clueless Because we never want to stop dreaming. Because the reality we created Is enough for us.
