Sitting in the classroom
Trapped in my thoughts
Looking forward aimlessly
It was another on of those classes

"What do you wanna be when you grow up?"
After that I got caught up in the endless possibilities
"Viki" my teacher called
It was my turn

As I muttered my answer
My classmates erupted in laughter
After that I heard nothing else
Just quietly return
To my thoughts

I tried to act as if it didn't bother me
But I found myself thinking
"Is it wrong to want to be a writer?"
