Reality

Sometimes I sit and reminiscence

Hopin',

Wishin', 

Longingin'.

To that time when i was six years old

And had the world to conquer.

One day I was a doctor

Saving lives

A true superhero in disguise. 

A heart beating in my hands

Or a baby beginning their life.

The next day I was an astronaut

Ready to save the planet

From meteors

To Invasions

Or sometimes, 

To see the world from a new perspective.

Here I am

After so many moons

So many birthdays

So many years

And I am not yet a Doctor

Nor an astronaut

Or Superhero.

Has my life been a waste?

What am I to accomplish?

The answer I will never know.

 But I am happy

And hopeful

And free

And that's what life means to me.
