When I Grow Up

When i grow up i want to be a writer.
No i singer!
I don't no maybe to people im a complete stranger.
When i grow up i want to have three kids.
No ten!
I don't no it's up to my man.
When i grow up people will judge my reality writing.
The books!
You no it's not all about the looks.
When i grow up i want my mother to no i would take care of her no matter what shift.
When i needed a hand she was always there to lift!
When i grow up i want people to act they age.
Don't give up be happy you walked that stage.
