Shining Star

You live your life,
And I'll live mine,
Do what you want,
But I'm going to shine!

Shine is what I'll do!
I'll be a star!
Everyone will know me,
Near and far!

You'll have a scalpel or pencil in your hand,
But I'll have a microphone and behind me, a band!

Or you'll have an eraser and some chalk,
While I'm walking on a cat walk!

I'll be friends with all the other stars,
Buy million dollar homes,
And drive elegant cars!

So you live your life,
And I'll live mine,
Do what you want,
But I'm going to shine!

Good luck with your aspirations. You describe them quite well with your words and rhyme.
