My Wish

I just wish, for just a moment, People would stop. Stop talking, Stop whispering, Stop caring so much! just simply Stop eavesdropping in conversations And analyzing too much. Stop thinking about things That seem too extreme, Because sometimes things are already The way they’re meant to be. I just wish, for one moment, People would change. Change their walk Change their attitudes Change the way that they talk. Change the way that they look at you As they pass in the hall. Change their behaviors to people Who can’t change what they want, Because we are quick to judge Yet much to hesitant to budge. I just wish, for a moment, one single moment People would listen. Listen to others Listen to learn Listen to our repetitive mistakes. Listen to the unmistakable silence That fills a room with its desperate tension. Listen to the way their heart Beats as they live, Because there is nothing more beautiful Than that spark of independence. I just wish, for a moment, Things were different. That there weren’t people who would Judge you Assess you debate your worth. Because we aren’t defined in numbers or in words, But rather in our actions Our ideas Our emotions. We are who we make of ourselves to be We are original, We are exceptional, We are limitless. But then again, It’s just a wish
