What Am I? Who Shall I Be?
April 15, 2024
What is my fate?
What is my destiny?
I never felt so confused in my life.
I’m almost in my third year of high school,
Yet I have no idea what I want to be.
Part of me wants to be a doctor.
But part of me wants to
Live a simple life.
Never mind that.
Not in this economy.
They always say I have enough time.
But what will happen,
When that time comes?
Tick-tock,
The clock is ticking.
I’m so scared.
Will I disappoint my parents?
So much doubt filling my head.
I just want to crawl back into bed.
I’m sorry to my mother
I’m sorry to my dad
They had so much expectations for me
But I don’t think I can fulfill them.

This piece is about my fear about growing up. One of the most difficult question I was always asked growing up was, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I never realized how much jobs are out there and I'm scared I will change my mind too late.
