Pick and Choose
"What do you want to do?"
"What do you want to be?"
"Pick right now, at only eighteen."
I don't know the answers
Maybe I never will
I want to do it all
I want to create
To make beautiful art
To incite feelings with words
To spark change with passion
To improve the world with my mind
"The arts will get you nowhere
"But if you must..."
Pick only one?
Just one?
No, never!
I will make art
That pours out my words
I will use beauty
To create a change
That will advance a cause
I can do it all
And I will
