I Wish


I Wish Upon a lot of the stars in the sky To become and to bloom and expand into something that I could never be right now I just want to go To go run across the earth and pump my legs as fast as I can I want to feel everything with the exuberance that it is possible to feel I want tears to stream down the lonely crevices of my skin while my lungs grasp for life due to lost love or longing affection I want to feel alive Feel the whipping wind force my hair to become it's own specimen, To taste the earth and the sky and heartache I want to become one with another human soul To feel deepest sorrow and joys that they tell no one else I wish for someone to feel safe and scared all at once around me To know they can enter my house but be ready for adventure within it's hallowed walls and fierce cracks I want life to be simple Just me Him And the stars Connecting all the little dots of our life is to much To much time Too much patience To much life May we simply just love one another Sometimes In the calm of my own soft bedroom I lift my faded head up for moments on end And see the stars And for a moment believe that possibly life might just maybe be a little bit better up there With just me and the stars And nobody to tell us what to buy or how to wear or why to try and how to life the life that was handcrafted with loving expertise just for us And I realize all alone up there in the stars That life would cease to matter Due to the ominous fact the people don't need help in the stars They need help here On the dying planet With arms reaching to those who cease to see The spectrum of need beyond their mobile devices Life is for others At least that's what I'm told To help and heal and be there and never faint It helps Everyone To just Try The best thing about this world are the souls who destroy it So I look at the stars with a new light in myself And realize that perhaps Although all alone We can shine just as bright And although residing alone on a beautiful star would be nice I'm needed down here To grow others stars That we may all become a galaxy in one
