when i grow up

when i grow up

A Poem by mikayla baldwin

i want to be comfortable.
of course being rich is ideal
but what about solemnity?
what about self righteousness?
love or luxury?
because both rarely go hand in hand
i want luxury 
i need love
i want to be a parent
i'll need to be the best
what if i was just living on the streets
watching every miserable person
drag themselves to their 9-to-5s
with a sign in my hand that says 
"well atleast im happy"
