Early Onset

Amidst all of my loneliness 

And the aligned stuffed bears 

I decided who I wanted to be as

Not a lawyer 

Not a doctor 

This was my first choice

Not a journalist 

Or a mom

Or a radio personality 

Not a basketball legend

This goal was unique

Rare 

I could say

Not a swimmer or a nurse

Or even a singer 

Take a guess

I...

Wanted to be like Jesus

Funny

One asked of me

Whom I admired

Like whom I wanted to be

Bringing back memories 

I semi understand 

Why I chose not a man

That moment 

He and I became friends
