Wonder

I’ve always wondered what it’s like

to have less families torn apart,

to lose the addiction of drama

or demolish constant discrimination,

but that won’t happen.

I've always wondered what it’s like

to come home welcomed with a smile and warm hug,

to see a meal presented at the table

or to be able to rest my head on a proper pillow,

but that won’t happen.

I’ve always wondered what it’s like

to have moral respect for others,

to escape this materialistic lifestyle

or see the world through someone else’s eyes,

but that won’t happen.

I’ve always wondered what it’s like

to be in the norms of society,

to view the idea of body image positively

or to go back to the innocence of youth,

but that won’t happen.

I’ve always wondered what it’s like

to have a special someone in my life,

to talk to someone without having them judge me

or look at a person and see them for themselves,

but that won’t happen.

I’ve always wondered what it’s like

to look in a mirror and truly say “I like me,”

to be able to look a person in the eye with pride

or to not compare myself to others,

but that won’t happen.

But if we look a little clearer,

If we dig a little deeper,

see a little brighter,

we might be able to.

It just might happen.
