All I Want To Be
Location
When I was younger
All I wanted to be
Was a princess
A dancer
Maybe explore the sea
Then reality sunk in
And woe is me
Because dreams are detoriating
No more endless possibilities
Everyone wants a to be perfect
They want to be skinny and tall
They want to be pretty and smart
They want to have it all
People look in the mirror
And all they see is flaws
Maybe stringy hair or a big nose
Then beauty becomes law
And dreams
Wonderful dreams
Are being ruined
Ripped out from the seams
No more princesses
And fairies
No more pirates and rock stars
I once knew a kid that wanted to be a berry
Adults always say be what you want
But then when you say what you want to be
They tell you to get real
Do something for reality
Adults, they always say act your age
But what about murders, war and crimes
Adults always get the center stage
Adults you aren't perfect, and your now out of time
Reality, perfection, possibilities
So many things in a world we call great
Yep a whole lot of violence and images
In a great big world full of great big hate
So much hate if you look different
So much hate if you talk strange
So much hate for what you don't know
So much in a wide range
I was and am a happy child
But I know I've made mistakes
People don't know them, no not at all
So I have many face, many names, many races, many flaws
So now that I'm older
And wiser and taller
There's only one thing that I can be
And its not a princess, a dancer,a actress or even a singer
My life long dream
So with all of my flaws
The only thing I want to be is...me
