at the age of six,
i wanted to become a teacher
because they're pretty.

at the age of ten,
i wanted to become a doctor
because i wanna heal my mother.

at the age of fifteen,
i wanted to become a model
because i love clothes and fashion.

but right now, i don't want to
become any of those dreams,

teacher,
nurse,
doctor,
model,
artist,
lawyer,

i don't want them.

all i wanted is now
to be loved and to be enough.

how many years in school
should i count to be like it-
5 years? 10 years? a lifetime?
i don't think so.
