I wanted to be a doctor,
As doctors cure the pain,
But they could not bring my friend,
Back to life again.
I wanted to be a poet,
As good words are so rare,
But when I recited my poetry,
Those words vanished in air.
I wanted to be a pilot,
And keep flying high above,
Saw a flock of birds and thought,
It's their flight that I love.
I wanted to be a teacher,
And teach all day and night,
But those who cannot afford to learn,
Can I be their guiding light?
I wanted to be a musician,
And sing those forgotten songs,
But who will know what I hid within them,
The stories that went wrong.
I wanted to be a scientist,
And explore the mysteries around,
But can my thoughts go faster than,
The speed of light and sound.
I woke up from these thoughts,
As my mom rung my bells,
'be a good human first', she said.
Then only anything else.
