To Do List

Get good grades,
Pass with flying colours
Make memories,
Find a true lover
Win a Grammy,
Travel the world
Adopt a kangaroo,
Become a cool girl

We all have so many things to do,
Some for the world and some just for you
We frame timetables and draft long lists,
We make up for the time that we had missed
Chasing our dreams,
Reaching our goals
Try to achieve,
Ignite fire from the coals

Wake up everyday,
With the rise of dawn,
Exercise till noon,
And mow the lawn
Eat healthy food,
Learn to play the drums,
Try to eat the cookie,
Without spilling the crumbs

We find a new idea in each and every way,
And until we can execute it, we try every way
We get a different motive, plan another move,
But we never actually follow them, who are we trying to prove?

Discover a planet,
Write a song
Become an actress,
And play ping- pong
Read a classic,
Watch all the shows
Learn gymnastics,
And try to touch your toes

Write a bestseller,
Become a popstar
Go to law school,
And travel afar
Study medicine,
Even though you want to write,
There are so many things to do,
For your dream you must fight.

~Olivia

Sometimes people's expectations are too much to meet. Sometimes they put so much pressure on you to do exactly what they want you to. Sometimes the world can be overly dominating and can push you off the limits.

But that shouldn't stop you from doing what you want to do. If you want to become an astronaut, work your way towards it. Don't worry about all the other things that people have to say about it. Your dreams are your dreams and noone can stop you from achieving them.
So go on that rocket and blast yourself to space because if that's what you want to do, that's what you're going to do.
