“I want to grow up quickly.”
I remember saying that when I was six
“I want to grow big, strong and tall
to do wonderful things that benefit all.”
I’m now 18 going on 19
Almost a grown-up but neither big, tall nor strong
And I haven’t done anything wonderful and awesome
Nothing that benefits all, but hopefully did benefit some.
I want to be somebody, I want to matter
But who am I trying to cater to?
Who am I trying to please?
Who am I trying to appease?
Am I fulfilling my semi-selfish desires?
A pathetic attempt to rekindle a flickering fire
Dreams that should be left to rest in peace
Hopes that should be left to rest in pieces
Never to be picked up ever again.
