I Don't Want To


I don’t want to…

I don’t wanna write this poem,
But still here I am sitting at home writing this poem,
I didn’t wanna go to school,
But I did,
I didn’t wanna go to the deep end in the pool,
But I did,
I didn’t wanna say goodbye,
I didn’t wanna try,
I didn’t wanna take the training wheels off my bike,
I didn’t wanna go out and fly that kite,
But I did,
I didn’t wanna take that class,
I didn’t wanna mow the grass,
I didn’t wanna learn how to run fast,
But I did,
I didn’t wanna get my heart broken,
I didn’t wanna use my last token,
I didn’t wanna say I was jokin',
I didn’t wanna cry over grandpa but I was sulkin’,
I didn’t wanna pick that fight,
I didn’t wanna take the last bite,
I didn’t wanna get on that flight,
I didn’t wanna say goodnight,
But I did,
I didn’t wanna play little league,
I didn’t wanna step up and lead,
I didn’t wanna read,
I didn’t wanna plant the seed and let it grow,
But I did all this and more,
But I didn’t do it all just for me,
But for other people to see,
How great doing things you don’t wanna do,
Can make you be.
Ya know, like me.
