Osmosis

Now I think it’s one of the most useless questions an adult can ask a child—What do you want to be when you grow up? As if growing up is finite. As if at some point you become something and that’s the end.

-Michelle Obama, excerpt from her book Becoming

Osmosis

28 years of becoming..
isn't a long time, but then
nor is it a short while, either
Ain't a view seen..
through rose-tinted glasses
nor all doom and gloom
but an osmosis..
a life, in a bubble
a lie, more bubbles, in a bubble
Yet the film though flimsy..
contains, the dreams, the fancy!
Dreams, through they pass..
to and fro
bursting bubbles as they go
until the froth you know..
cease to exist, and
all that remains..
is a sea of dreams to sail, to swim
out of a bubble, still a dreamer!
