Wishes (TW)

I want to see my food without seeing any numbers

I wish the nightmares would stop invading sweet slumber

I’m tired of the loneliness that haunts me to no end,

I wish to be loved, and I’d like a few friends.

I know that I can’t have these things,

but am I wrong for wanting them?

I’m a human- not a machine,

I know I’m full of problems.

I wish that after bad days I could rise back to my feet

I want to live my life without trying to hit delete

I’d like to heal the hurt, and to medicate the pain

I didn’t ask to have intrusive thoughts, I wish they’d leave my brain.

I wish I may, I wish I might

Have my wishes granted tonight

I know that I can’t have these things,

but all I have now are these dreams.

I want to smile without faking

And to force my heart to stop its breaking

I’d love to learn to see a mirror

Without disgust, or shame, or fear.

I know these are impossible,

for my life they’re just not plausible

but I’ll give wishing one short try

because without hope I’ll surely die
