     Trying to look through my childrens eyes, or the when I was a child eyes.

What do I want to be when I grow up? I dont know, a train driver? a doctor? no I want to be Me, yes Me. I dont want to be anyone eles, I like Me, I dont want to be told that if I dont do this or that I will not be able to do that. My grandfather he never went to university, and he ran a big buisness, He was He, and I want to be Me.

The teachers at shool do not let me say what I want to be, they just tell me I have to make choices now, and when I say I do not like their choices, they get annoyed. Why cant I learn to be a guitarist, or write books, or say I want to be the next president of America, please tell me why.

You know there is nothing wrong wit Me, being Me is fun. I do not spray tags all over the place, dont do drugs, do not steal, yet when those kids do that they get a lot of people listening to them, and Me, you do not listen to me, you think I am stupid because I have dreams, you say I have to do it your way or I will be a failure, well you know what, I AM ME. And do you know what! Me is going to be someone, not an arrogant know it all, be someone, be who Me wants to be, not what you see.

I do not ask you to be Me, so why should I be you. If you took the time to listen to Me then you would understand, I am a lot more positive than you can ever be. Me did not create this economic meltdown, Me did not cause all the wars, Me did not? Oh whats the point, you think I am a trouble maker, WELL I AM NOT
