The text and context

question 1

Enem 2012

Verb to be

What will you become when you grow up? They keep asking around. What is being? Is it having a body, a way, a name? I have all three. And I'm? Do I have to change when I grow up? Using another name, body and way? Or do we only start being when we grow up? It's terrible, be? It hurts? It's good? It's sad? Ser: pronounced so quickly, and fits so many things? I repeat: to be, to be, to be. Er. A. Who will I be when I grow up? Am I obligated to? Can I choose? It's impossible to understand. I won't be. I do not want to be. I will grow up anyway. Without being. To forget.
