My Wish, My Reality

I wish I was born in a cool neighborhood
with good friends and a great house.
with a game station next to my place
and a father to send me to buy bread

saturday, spent with the folks
sunday, lunch with the family

I wish I had lived in a lively place
with the garden's flowers of Ms. neighbor,
skates and good people to talk in the street
noises of electric guitars and we writing songs

but what did I have?
a silent street,
unknown neighboors.
fear and grids,
just the noise of the computer
the colors of a screen
the voices of within
and 
me.
