"Being Big" by Laurie Molloy

When i was little
i wanted to be big
so i could decide
what i did-
so i could drive places
and do grown up things,
eat what i wanted and
decide who my friends were.
Dress up, wear make - up
and most of all
tell myself what to do.
I still want to be big
each day i try
to be a little bigger-
a better person
than i think i can be.
It is a lot harder
to be in charge than I thought.
