Ideals
I want to be
a lot of things
they want me to be
many things
a doctor
a lawyer
someone who has an impact on the world
or so they say
but can't someone as little as me
make a difference
without all these titles?
so who am I?
a doctor
a lawyer
but what do I strive to be?
why should I be someone else?
aren't you just happy with me?
What makes me, me?
do the people around me built up who I am?
does the past define one's self?
or am I a clone of societies ordeals and mother's lost dreams?
a doctor is good, they say
a lawyer is just, they say
what about what I say?
I have a voice in this, right?
Why can't I voice my opinions of my own future?
why must you build up these unreachable and foolish goals to make up for your own lost dreams?
healthcare always has a future?
then what of me?
will I always have a future?
surely not, if I keep on carrying the dead dreams of others.
Let me be me.
and you be you.
Simple is it not?
So, let it be true.
I will not be a doctor,
or lawyer.
I will follow my own dreams.
and not yours.
