To Wish A Change Upon A Star

Staring into a mirror, clutching onto hopes and dreams and thoughts in a desperate attempt to avoid dilution.

 

I wish, I wish, with all my might, that part of me will change tonight.

 

Gasping, pleading, praying, a chant overridden on chapped lips and a voice made hoarse.

 

I wish, I wish, with all my might, that part of me will change tonight.

 

Please, is the plea that echoes throughout the room. Please, give chase to my flickering flaw. Give it no rest, no respite, chase it out of every dark nook and cranny. Chase, chase, chase.

 

I wish, I wish, with all my might, that part of me will change tonight.

 

Turn hesitance to confidence, bend uncertainty into strength. Bend and pull, take the flickering flaw and its fickle heat into a constant burning flame that will stay by me.

 

I wish, I wish, with all my might, that part of me will change tonight.

 

Give my voice power, my eyes steel, my steps purpose. Dress my guise in royal blue that my back be straight, head focused ahead no matter the storms raging around me.

 

I wish, I wish, with all my might, that part of me will change tonight.

 

Cast out the need for this wishing, for pleading, for begging, wishing upon the night stars for a miracle of change. Bless my being with the capability to change.

 

I wish, I wish, with all my might, that part of me will change tonight.

 

And perhaps I will be able to meet myself in the eyes.


I wish, I wish, with all my might, that part of me will change tonight.
