I wish
I wish that one day I will no longer shake and cry at change
I wish that one day I will finally understand my own mind
I wish that one day I won’t worry about so many “what ifs”
I wish that one day I can smile and truly be happy
I wish that one day I can look at someone and see the good in them
I wish that one day I can look at a room and not see the exit and think the worst
I wish that one day my mind won’t go off track every other thought
I wish that one day I can understand that people actually like me
I wish that one day I can understand that I am not disliked by all
I wish that one day I can understand that I am loved and cared for
I wish that one day I can enjoy my mind, rather than be afraid
I wish that one day my mind will no longer be a confounding puzzle
i wish
i look out these
tear-streaked windows
and wish i could stop yearning
for a better life.
i wish i could smile at them
and mean it.
i wish i could enjoy this
amazing life of mine.
eat ice cream minus the shame.
dance crazily without feeling embarrassed.
wear what i want and not be defined by it.
be who i am
without being judged.
but i can’t.
i feel ashamed eating all those calories,
i never dance at parties,
and i wear what i think is acceptable.
at night,
i bury myself in my
bruised blue-and-grey sheets
and wish that i didn’t wish
to be gone.
Sensations.
The chilly breezes of Russia chilling me the bone.
The northern lights appearing fuzzy through my tear stained eyes.
The comforting embrace of water from the Niagra Falls enveloping me.
The crackling warmth from Antartica fires.
The faint cooing of the wild birds of Sahara.
The ear piercing trumpets ans saxophones of dazzling New Orleans streets.
The overwhelming stench of Swiss cheese.
The velvety Brazil coffee melting in my mouth.
All these sensations i dream of
all these sensations are some of my loftiest wishes
and all these sensations i will feel
before the soft sound sleep of death
finally embraces me.
