All Tied up in Nots

I am not a choreographer, I am a dancer.
Why? I think I would rather be
a professional dancer, but I am not.

I’m a dancer and I don’t spin around trees. I like to warm up by flexing my feet. A choreographer most likely instructs. But I’m the one who’s pointing my foot. Choreographer’s tell you what to do. But I have to make sure I have on my ballet shoe.

I am not an artist, I am a kid.
Why? I think I would rather be
an artist, but I am not.

I don’t think I’ll be an artist
I walked up to a painting and
Saw a tree in the painting.
I saw the artist and I shrieked
It was just a copy though of
Leo da Vinci artwork
It vanished from the window
I vanished too
It wasn’t there so what was the point
I thought and thought and there was
Not one tree but thousands!
I saw a door connected to the trees and said
Where did that door come from?

I am not a scientist that lives on Mars,
I am a student.
Why? I think I would rather be
A student, so I am.
I am not a Mars scientist because
It is not a job
If I was a Mars scientist
I would be mobbed
Also, space is scary
It’s way too hot
But at the same time, it is way too cold
So I am not that bold

I am not a musician, I am an artist.
For thee I like notes
For lines I cannot
But you see the harmonies
Stay in me as I paint the swaying beats.
So you see, I’d rather be a musician but
I am an artist.

I am not a painter, I am a builder.
Why? I think I would rather be
an astronaut, but I am not.

I don’t feel like a painter, painters have emotion.
Do I have emotion? I think not. “But everyone has emotions”
They would say. But do we?

My friend is a painter, when I walk over, painting. When we are talking, she is still painting. I like to build, real life and online. People might say that “building will get you nowhere in life.” But architects would say otherwise.

“Don’t doubt yourself!” “Don’t give up” they say, but building is not that easy, it isn’t like a breeze that passes through air. Painting isn’t easy either, if you are not in the painter’s shoes will you ever know how they feel?

I am a teacher, not a Cleaning man. Why? I think cleaning man is a horrible job. You have to clean everything I hate doing that. A teacher, well that job you get to do a lot of things teach, learn and talk. The only problem is that I literally have like 0% patience. But if you think about it 3rd graders aren’t too immature and 5th graders turn bad.

I mean I like teaching but I am very very off topic and Everyone can become a Cleaning man and not everyone can be a teacher.

If you become a Cleaning man too bad and a teacher so so, but I literally like fishing for Fun I do know I like fishing for no reason I just like sitting and looking into the sea and waiting for a fish. I love catching a fish But I don’t eat fish. The adventure begins.

I am not an Adult, I am a Kid
Why? I think I would rather be
an Artist, but I am not. Because,

I’m a kid. I
Am too young to waltz
Into an art studio and
Demand somebody to put
My piece of art on
The wall. That’s not
Allowed. And I know that’s not allowed.

If I could do that I would
But, it’s not allowed. I would need
Money. For money I’d need a job.
I’d need to go through a whole system
If I want my art piece on a wall.
That would take a while.

I am not a go kart football player, I am a baseball player.
Why? I think I would rather be
A go karter, but I am not. Per se, at the Sports
Illustrated Kids Tree
House they play go kart football but
I do not.

I don’t want to
Kill myself playing
Go kart football
Or zero gravity
Basketball or
Jet pack baseball
Or any of the sports
That they come up with over there.

I play baseball it isn’t half-bad.

I am not a dancer, I am a singer.
Why? I think I would rather be a
dancer, but I am not. Well,
for instance, Kristen Conley
takes Jazz classes.
She would say “My moves are horrible!”
but never to me!

She says that she can’t do
the moves right or perfect as
she wants them to be.
She practices day and night.
So, I say you should take a break and rest,
not everyone is the best!

Dance, dance, dance. No!
Sing, sing, sing.
She says she enjoys it more.
She’d rather share her
singing voice than her dance moves.

One day I wore a dress did I like the dress NO but I had to wear it. When I wear “girly girl clothes” I act like one do I want NO I just do know when I wear “tomboy clothes” I act like one do I want to YES I just do.

I am not a Ball-playing Cowboy Superhero Soldier Pirate, I am a Hockey Player.
Why? I think I would rather be
a Ball-playing Cowboy Superhero Soldier Pirate, but I am not.

I am a Hockey player and I have no problemo but Ball-playing Cowboy Superhero Soldier Pirates need 0% practice because they basically have every talent in the world.

I love Hockey and if I am in the NHL, that’s great but Ball-playing Cowboy Superhero Soldier Pirates can do that anyways because they have everything. If you were a Ball-playing Cowboy Superhero Soldier Pirate, you would be awesome and you would be awesome.

I am not a Mathematician because I am a poet and an actor
I like to rhyme and I like to sing
There is nothing that is wrong
To write and to sing a song

I think I would rather be an actor
Because my family says I am good at putting acts
I can use some props and dress up pretty fast
I can express my moods
It can be sad, happy or crude

I can have fun
Run around in the sun
I can eat hotdogs but not without a bun
I like to make noise and play with my toys
I can let me emotions cause a commotion
I can vent out through my acting
I can do it as I like and make people smile and enjoy

Maths is not my thing because it is hard
Numbers fly around and circle in front of my eyes
Sometime I try try and try
But all I want to do is cry
Addition or subtraction
Multiplication or division
No matter how much I practice with my soul
It is so hard to achieve my goal

I want to be an actor
But there is Covid-19
When it is done I will be one
It is Covid-19
But when it’s over
I will be an actor
I don’t care what other people say
I will be an actor
Like Thomas Sangster
Like Dylan O’Brien
Like in the movie Maze Runner
But trust me I will be one
This should be called “when I am an actor”
I don’t care that I am 10
Some actors are 5
But my point is
When Covid is over
I will be one

I want to be an adult but I am only 10 years old
when I’m an adult I can stay up all night
and I can watch TV anytime I want
and I don’t have to do homework anymore

I am not a bird, I am a human. Why? I think I would rather be a bird, but I am not. I don’t see myself as a bird, I cannot see myself flying. I couldn’t do the things I can do now if I were a bird. I could not see glass as a bird. If I was a bird, I don’t think I would be interested in violin, archery, or art. I don’t like math, or homework. I am not a bird, I am only human.

Why I am not a bug killer
I was once in the Olympics
I was in first place the bugs
Were intense but I kept going.

Then when I was least on guard it
Felt like a million flies
Hit my face all at once and I tripped on my foot
Oh what pain I felt that day.
I was so disgusted that I decide to
Quit my dream job and got a new career that was killing bugs
Out of spite.
And to my surprise I was really good at it
So I made a business and I think I only got the business
Because I was an Olympic runner before but I didn’t mind.

Then when the time came I got the
Nobel Prize that I killed all the bugs in the world
But it wasn’t over like that plants started to die
And crops were disappearing so then we all disappeared
So here is a life lesson don’t kill bugs

I am not a reptile owner, I am a kid.
Why? I think I would rather be
A reptile owner, but I am not.

And my landlord does not allow reptiles
Also my mom won’t let me get one .

I am not a YouTuber,
The path to be a YouTuber seems easy enuf
Maybe it will be a side job as a grownup
I am not a YouTuber, why you ask
It just hasn’t come up and that is the reason

I am not an actor, I am a space scientist.
Why? I think I would rather be
An astronaut, but I am not. I am not an
Astronaut because I am not old enough.
I am not old enough because I am only nine.
You cannot just be nine to be an astronaut.
You need to be at least 26 to be an
Astronaut. You also need to know a
Lot of stuff to become an astronaut.
You need to know how to spacewalk.
You need to know how to scuba dive.
You also have to have 1000 hours
of pilot experience to be an astronaut.
For all those reasons I cannot become an astronaut.
At least now I cannot.

I think that I want to be
a Unicorn but I am a
human. I want to prance
with hooves but, I walk with
feet, I want to neigh like a
Unicorn but I talk like a
human I want to eat grass like
a Unicorn but I eat food
like a human. I want to
live like a Unicorn but I
live like a human.

I am not a football player, I am a person who gets a million bucks by eating a donut. Why? Because I want to be rich. I think I would rather be a person who gets to 3 million for eating a donut, but I am not sadly
Sadly I only get 1 million bucks and gladly I’m not a football player
I am not a football player because they get too many injuries. And it’s boring

I am not a Wolf Keeper, I am a Dragon Walker.
Why? I think I would rather be
a Wolf Keeper, but I am not.
Dragon walking is impossible but it gives me lots more than a doctor.
I want to be a wolf keeper because I love to play and teach them cool and fun stuff.
I need more money so I have to be a dragon walker.

I am not a Uni-sitter, I am a student.
Why? I think I would rather be
a Uni-sitter, but I am not.

I am not a Uni-sitter because I do not know how to Uni-sit. I would be a Uni-sitter for the FUN, not the money.

I wish I was a watcher and take carer of unicorns, but I am a learning student, in fourth grade to get into detail.

I am not a nail polisher, I am a student.
Why? I think I would rather be
a gymnast, but I am not.

So I am training and I’m doing my best

I am not a skateboarder, I am a lazy person.
Why? I think I would rather be
a skateboarder, but I am not.

I’m not a Skateboarder I’m a lazy liz, I even refuse to take a shower yep I’m that lazy
You get hurt
You have to learn (that takes a long time at least of me)
You have work
To get money

Too much for me
I’ll wait till I’m older!

I am not a kid who does not care bout her future oh no I am a hard worker. I want to go to school and go to Harvard I don’t want to not be smart I want to direct a movie.

I am not a dentist, I am a musician.
Why? I think I would rather be
a musician but I am not. Yet. I am making my way towards being a musician. I would make a great musician because I am very good at the guitar, and I am quite a talented singer.

Yet I won’t be a dentist because they have to touch people’s stinky teeth, (I bet they have many cavities.)

Also dentists have to do many painful surgeries to all these poor innocent people. If I tried to be a dentist though I would probably break people’s teeth because I am very clumsy. So that is my statement on how terrible of a dentist I would be. (Thank you for your time.)
