What Do You Want to Be?

What Do You Want to Be?

A Poem by Diana

And the sing-along song asks:
"What do you want be when you grow up?"

"Oh, what do you want to be?"
"Oh, tell me."
"When you grow up."

Yet, whatever you want or wanted to be...
Seems Not To Be.

And some of us
become a mockery 
of all we had hoped to be.

This was inspired by a day of subbing and watching this sing-along. The words to the sing-along are not my own. I've altered them slightly above.
