I want to remember what it’s like  

to ride a bike 

or watch Saturday cartoons  

To remember when homework was 

just 2+2  

But that was a long time ago  

Any biking is just to and from school 

And now the cartoons are no good  

I want to remember how easy 

Life used to be before Trigonometry. 

But those things just live in my memory 

So, I have to create new memories 

And then miss them eventually.

Today consists of stressful mornings

Tiring nights

Anxiety-filled days

School has taken over my life

But with motivation and goals 

I set myself a future

where I see me

Doing the impossible

Not where building a candy machine out of Lego bricks brings me pleasance 

But teaching to make the world a difference.
