I wish that I could be me

that I could speak my mind and walk free

I wish you would look at me,

see how beautiful I am

I wish they would accept me,

see my difference as nothing more than a change

I wish we were louder,

maybe then I wouldn’t have to follow everyone else

I wish you were stronger

so I won’t feel guilt when I ignore you.

I wish we were smarter

maybe then we won’t be divided,

maybe then we would love despite differences.

I wish my wishes would come true,

then again they never do.I wish that I could be me
