When I was younger

When I was younger, I wished to be in a movie.
I wanted to be a star. 
When I was younger, I wished to have a driver's license.
I wanted a car. 
When I was younger, I wished to be a magician.
I wanted to do tricks.
When I was younger, I wished to work at an ice cream shop.
I wanted to make stack of licks.
When I was younger, I wished to draw.
I wanted to be an artist. 
When I was younger, I wished to dance,
I wanted to be a dancer.
When I was younger, I wish to sing.
I wanted to be a singer.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
