Honestly

Honestly I wish I was braver, 
taller,
my nose smaller, 
my fingers longer,
hair blonder, teeth whiter, 
my thighs firmer 
I wish I woke up earlier, 
wasn't so late, 
Read more, 
Cared more, 
Loved more,
Danced more, 
I wish I tried harder,
wasn't so negative,
smiled longer, 
stood straighter,

Honestly...I wish people weren't so Honest.
