I am 5 years old Mommy I want to be a dancer You bought me a little jewellery box A pretty ballerina goes round and round In a pretty little dress, dancing to pretty music In her pretty jewellery box world Why is she everything Im not?
I am 8 years old Spinning round and round Ill do you proud like my little jewellery box ballerina Only today I want to be an ice skater Spinning on blades, scarring the ice Like some kind of sadist ritual Only everyone will think its beautiful
I am 12 years old Mommy, I want to be a gymnast This body I possess, something I hate with my adolescent angst Only I can change how it looks With this art I hold And everyone will think my body is beautiful
I am 15 years old Mommy, I want to be an actress Then I can pretend, just like everyone else And roles that I play Will be what people will want to see Then everyone will think I am beautiful
I am 5 years old Mommy, I want to be a dancer I know that I cannot be anyone I am not Joining a circus of make believe Running from reality, so nobody will have to see me I know Im not a dancer And that I cannot dance But Im still dancing, Im still dancing I know nobody will think I am beautiful But I will still be dancing

Great poem! I love this poem. It's very well written! Put some acoustic guitars behind some vocals singing that poem and it would make a beautiful song. 5/5 |

I love the ending, it is so sad.
The way you describe it seems to be something that i, and im sure others can relate too.
Oh, for childish dreams..everything was much simpler then...
