When I grow up,
I don’t want to be a model to get guys ,
I don’t want to be a celebrity to get fame,
I don’t want to be famous to get attention,
I want to be a thief to get adventure,
To be free from rules,
To be free to take from anyone.

This is defintley unique. I like the differient take on what I want to be when I grow up.

But you don't need comma after every line.
