| "What do you want out of life" has been a question posed to my occupied brain all too often since I started college and found that I prefer to take naps and do my own thing to joining the "RAT RACE" I am no rodent!! (i did not write this poem) |
 |
| I want to go to Mc Donald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud-puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade strand with my friends on a hot summer's day. I want to return to a time when life was simple; When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didnt bother you, because you didnt know what you didnt know and you didnt care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset. I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again. I want to live simple. I dont want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones. I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow. So...here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401k statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. and if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, 'cause...... TAG!!! YOU'RE IT!!!!! |
| I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an eight year old again. |
