Wanted to Be Many Things

By Andrew Greco 

tw: suicide/death

 

I used to want to be many things. 

 

I wanted to be an astronaut at 5 years old.

I wanted to be a stock broker at 8; 

A doctor at 11. 

 

I used to want to be many things.

 

I wanted to have friends at 12. 

I wanted to be happy at 13.

 I wanted to be dead at 14;

 No idea at 15. 

 

I used to want to be many things. 

 

Some things I still want to

be: Happy, 

At peace with myself; 

A fun person to be around. 

 

I used to want to be many things. 

 

So.. 

How do we forgive ourselves for

the things we did not become? 

 

time does what it wants to us                                 November Crows
