Aww

They have always wanted me to be a doctor,
"Aww.......but I am not sure." I replied
“How about lawyer then?" They asked earnestly,
"Aww.......Aww....I might try......if this will make you happy" my face was blushing. 
“Why don't you give an exact answer to my question?" They insisted.
I had no reply this time.
sixteen years old,still looking for a path of life and a belief, 
Haste, haste, 
Am I allowed to take a breath, just a little while?
