When I grow Up...

I write as a hobby, I somehow evolved from poetry to stories, but i love poems. I love the way they're able to speak volumes with so little. I wrote this poem a while back, I thought I should share it with you, hope you enjoy it, its titled When I Grow Up.

When I grow up, I want to be free,

I want to be able to buy, anything that I need

To eat chocolates and not think of calories,

To buy that skirt

and not think of how much it costs.

When I grow up, I want to live,

Without being fitted into a class or two,

To be able to wear anything, everyday of the week

To shout when I like and sleep till the sun comes up

To choose to vote or be voted for

To exercise or not

To live in any part of the world

that i wish or fancy.

When I grow up, I want to be rich

Not to be labeled by any socio-economic status, or judged because I drink

I want to be thirty-two,

Young, strong and sexy

To date any man I want

And dance on Sunset Boulevard

 On really sunny noons.

When I grow up, I want to have a job,

That gives me all I ever wanted and ask for nothing in return
