I Wish

I wish I were older
         Then perhaps I wouldn't be so scared
I wish I were older
  Then perhaps I wouldn't think so much

       I'm too young
Much too young
     Look at me
  I'm not old enough

I wish I weren't scared
        Then perhaps I'd be happy
I wish I was brave
   Then perhaps I could face up to it

  I don't know what to do
I'm...      lost...
         No one can help me
 Can't even help my self


I wish that I was dreaming
  Then perhaps I could wake up and realize, it was all a
             Dream
I wish that my mind would stop racing
  Then perhaps I could produce a single thought without
     Blinking

Look at me

I wish that my wishes would come true
           Then perhaps I wouldn't have to wish so much
 And everything would be better
   And I wouldn't have to be so young
               And I wouldn't have to have this child
But I do....
 
       No star is shining for me tonight
And if there is
             It's not shinging for the right reason...
