What I want to be

What I want to be

A Poem by Quinn

Astronaut, fierce knight
Billionaire, famous spy 
Prime minister, movie star 
We would dream into the night
Big dreams
Big plans
“What I want to be”
Someone with many fans
Science guy, army general
Entrepreneur, basic spy
Mp, TV star
Dreams reducing, can’t deny
Smaller dreams
Smaller plans
“What I want to be” 
Someone with a few fans
Science teacher, private
Manager, assistant guy 
Local council, backing crew
Smaller as years go by
Little dream
Little plan
“What I want to be”
Someone who can pay the tax man
Shop assistant, office worker
Coffee man, printer guy
Village hall, audience member
Nothing more, why?
No dream
No plan
“What I have to be”
Here comes the fun ban
I looked back
On my dreams at six
Ambitions and goals
Massive mix
But not any more
All the doors are now shut
I’ve done what adults call
“Growing up” against my gut
