When I grow up...

When I grow up
      I will be tall
I will forget anything
     that made me feel small.
I will hold my head
    higher than the sun,
When I grow up, I will
     listen to no one.

I will wear what I want
   be gone with good fashion.
It will be more for simply comfort
     than trying to look dashing.

I will actually say, "Excuse me"
   from time to time,
And not get involved when people
    start to whine.

I will dare myself to jump
  off of the ledge.
Life is meant to be lived
     not sitting on that edge.

I'll give myself permission to
   just be me.
Because seriously, who else
   could I be?

When I grow up, I'll be as loud
    as I can.
Wait a minute, grow up?  I already am....
