A Wish Upon a Wish

I long to wish we could choose where we're born 
and not be pierced and constantly torn 

I wish that love didn't have so much pain 
that it didn't consist of feelings of strain 

I wish that it was something sweet and guiding 
and not full of fear, hurt and hiding 

I wish that love was something true and strong 
that actually makes you feel like you belong 

I wish that we didn't have to argue 
or get angry or disagree or feel so used 

I wish that friendship was strong and freeing 
and not make you feel a sense of fleeing 

I wish people would listen to things you say 
And not be mean and nasty like they do day to day 

I wish that beauty didn't matter this much 
so we could all be accepted and feel that special touch 

I wish that we didn't feel so broken 
so that we can listen to people when they've spoken 

I wish that we weren't all self centered 
so we could live a good life and not feel resented
