Everything is wrong, I don’t know where I am
What I want to be or where, I don’t understand.
At five years of age I wanted to be a farmer
But that dream is long forgotten.
At 10 it was an astronomer,
I still think about it often.
At 15 that dream turned to an author
I wrote all that I could,
Only to realize it was immature,
I would never be as good as I should.
I dreamt of making the world a better place,
Worked for the environment,
Tried to clear the mess we made
But I wasn’t strong enough to stop things from going where they went.
At 18 I liked studying accounts
Maybe that’s what I’d do in life
I could work with accounts.
Life changed course , I lost all control
I was standing in the middle of the crowd, clueless as to which way I should go.
I found myself in college studying English
Aspiring once again to become what I thought I could never be
I’m graduating this year
That time has finally come
I have to make a decision and I am starting right where I begun.
I wish I could be a farmer , I know that might never be.
I watch the stars almost every night , but that dream is so far it’s hard to believe.
I still want to be an author, I’m just not sure if that’s for me.
I want to work for the world, a cause I never gave up
Only problem is , my own life is so messed up.
As I start to think about all the things that I have ever wanted to be
I think back and realize there is only one thing that was with me constantly.
The music stayed within me , I sang and played all along.
The longest that my memory goes back
I realize , it was the music that was always with me.
It’s what I always wanted it’s exactly what I should be.
This is who I always was , the music is in me.
