A Wish

I wish for a wish,
Maybe even a million wishes.
I wish to stop and stare,
And enjoy the view of life as it slowly passes.

I wish I would not be judged,
By the people who expect too much.
I wish I could be myself,
And not let feelings of fear control me.

I wish I could make them understand,
That it’s not that easy to be me.
I wish they would listen once in a while,
That I can’t take it anymore.

I wish I didn’t have to keep moving fast,
And just lie down and stare at the sky.
I wish the world would be colorless,
And everyone would see each other equally.

I wish the rain was not polluted by smoke,
So that the poor and abandon can drink.
I wish for so many things,
But not one of these wishes can come true.

A wish,
That’s all I want.
Just one.
