~~~~When I grow up~~~~, by Madelyn Subscribe to rss feed for Madelyn

	
Have you ever used the terms…
When I grow up,
Well when I was a kid my goals was always my dreams,
I wanted to be a singer because I knew I could sing,
I would practice every day till I hit that great note,
Singing made me feel so good,
My voice brought out the love in me,
But then one day it changed when I got into high school,
I started to change and struggle,
I was kicked out of my mom house at the age of 16,
And pregnant by the age of 18,
As I started my prenatal I loved the way the nurse cared,
I loved to help people,
To see a smile and it’s because of me,
It made me feel like being a nurse I will be complete,
Never thought I use the words when I grow up again,
Because I thought after giving birth my life began,
To finish school is what I wanted,
And be the person I would like to be,
But those goals shattered when I had no help,
To raise my child he was my number one responsibility,
So now I my goals just became a dream,
And I’m still stuck on when I grow up,
Even though I’m 31,
I still like to be someone,
I would like to be a role model,
To all the people that been where I was,
And just like me they thought their life would just be a
dream,
I love to be happy one day,
And use the term …. I grew up and I am what I want to
be…
Happy and Free!
