Aspirations change with time.

When I was little

I wanted to be big.

When I was different

I wanted to be alike.

When I was alone

I wanted to be somebody's.

When I was a pawn

I wanted to be a king.

I grew

fit in

married

and achieved my every dream.

Now I yearn to be

small

   alone

      different 

and answer to no one.

To be more

To be more

Than I am

To be more

Than anyone

Has ever been

To be more

Than the limits

My body

Imposes

To be more

Than the world

Tells me

I have

A right to be

To be more

Than I

Think

That I'll

Ever rise

To

To be more

Than my grades

The bathroom scale

My resume

My credit score

My brain

My doubt

I want

To be

More

More

More

More

Than what

Holds me back
