Personal wish. This is me.

The selfish and gut wrenching longing to live
Once again in my childhood
Suffocates me

I lay awake for hour after hour with hunger
Just to change that one little thing
A moment in time

But not one moment could quench my thirst
I need to change the days, months
every year

To stand on the pathway to my childhood home
Knowing the things I do now
A prayer answered

To tell my mother how much I will always love her
Cuddle and sway friends from future evils
Warn my future husband of his fate before me
Phone the president to stop the twins falling
Laugh in the face of all my ex lovers
Witty remarks to shock my bullies
Wear my hair down, not up in a scrunchy
Make up perfect, but wit perfected
To fall into the right crowd, and have so much fun
Paying attention in science class, not wasted
Not letting a cigarette romance me to illness
Let alcohol poor down the drain without need
And smile once a day, even if gloomy

Yes

This would be a wish I want granted
But should I believe
When the good I could do
Should I believe
Be careful what you wish for?

    What a bloody awesome picture!!

    Living in my childhopod... you wish for what the ideals of childhood should be... not what you actually experienced... or at least that's what I've recently realized.
    You always think things were better... and then you realize that they just weren't.
    Of course, things could be different for you...

    Many poeple wish they could stand on the horizon to the truth, thinking it's the pathway to happiness... only to find it's the answer to disaster, or just a load more questions.

    This line was sad...
    Cuddle and sway friends from future evils

    We all wish that... I know that there is so much I think I should have changed... People I would avoid, people I would pay more attention to...

    And then you realize that in the end, changing everything would make you a different you.
    Everything you have ever experienced brings you to where you are,....And what you can offer.
    And who you are now is what people love about you.
    ...It's what I love.
