Array ( [sid] => 1646 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => When I grow up [time] => 2002-08-03 07:41:56 [hometext] => A history of what I have wanted to be when I grow up... [bodytext] => When I was young I wanted nothing more than to be a princess
Then I decided a singer was all I wanted to be
I wanted to grace the stage with music

When I grew a bit I dreamed of adventures in Egypt
An archeologist was the way for me
To uncover ancient secrets

A few years later I decided to seek justice as a lawyer
To uncover the truths about anything, everything
Maybe I would join the FBI

High school brought confusion to my dreams and aspirations
I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life
But I knew I wanted something great

I played with ideas of the stage once again
I believed this was where I belonged
But this time I wanted to act

Told that I was being impractical, I searched onward
But I keep revisiting dreams of being on stage
I want to be in the spot light

So now I am searching for anything and everything
Something to satisfy my life
Something to make me happy

I am holding tightly to my dreams
I can't settle for anything less
But I am searching for other passions

If I can be passionate about something that will bring certain success
I will embrace it with all I have
Who knows what that will be [comments] => 2 [counter] => 148 [topic] => 25 [informant] => Adreana [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

"A dream is a wish the heart makes when you are fast asleep." This poem reminded me of my favorite quote... I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life... all I know is that I'm going to college... *~sigh~* but I'll figure it out someday... Beautiful poem.
