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
