The teachers ask us at the beginning of a new school year,
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
It's often asked at family gatherings by your sweet old grandma,
"Darling, what do you want to be when you're all grown up?"
It's asked by little kid who looks up to you,
"What are you gonna be when you're old?"
It's said before every pointless "important test",
"This test will determine your future."
But little do they know every time they ask the same question that burns a hole in the back of my mind I think to myself "When I grow up I want to be happy. With myself and with my life." But no one wants to hear that. They expect you to say "When I grow up I want to be a doctor/celebrity/all-star." So for the sake of it all you say some career to make them glad to hear your answer.
