DREAMS
At 8 years old I dreamed of being a scientist
But that was before I had seen the entire list
At 9 I started watching old clips of MJ
And at 10 and 11 wanted to go to the NBA
That changed when my life switched to match play
At 12 and 13 I thought being an english teacher would fill my days
But teachers don’t get enough praise
14 brought dreams of cooking
Switched that up fast when my food was not good-looking
15 I realized my dreams were a mess, looking for a little bit of success
16 and 17 I am lost not knowing what dream to dream
This life thing is not what it seems
So many decisions I’m running out of steam
it makes me scream
why can't I figure it out? My mind is flooding, filling with doubt
Dream your dream they say
I hope my dream will find me one day
Cuz I can’t keep sitting here not knowing what to do
I guess I’ll have to wait and see it through
Some say you don’t pick your dream your dream picks you
and maybe now I believe that to be true
After all the failed attempts at achieving
When all of them just keep fleeing
Tik tok tik tok, the sound of a moving clock
And right now My mind is moving fast like a fox
it feesl like I’m trapped in a box
So I’ll just stay here in my seat
Until my dream and I meet
Then I’ll stand,with great pride
finally look my dream in the eye,
not run away to hide
Because I’m tired of waiting
Nobody told me this whole thing would be blind dating
