The Wish

The Wish Or, so you wish you were thinner, But some would wish to be thicker, you always wanted to be brighter Lord why I was not faster But really I wish I was richer And cooler And prettier And why can’t I be bolder Many wish for better jobs Wish they had stayed in school Ah wish my parents had money boy I always wanted to be a dancer So one stands in this lonely place And see all who made something of themselves And I stand here ‘wishing’ it was me But the only wish that ever come true Was the wish that I made that people will see the essence of the true ME. And yuh know what? They did see!!! They see all the flaws And they see the job I did not get The money and fame that I don’t have They see the education I did not take And they say they wish I did It is then I started to see all the world's flaws So my new wish for all of “we” is that we will just “be” And really show them ‘Who we be’ I can’t run no faster, and I can’t be no prettier than I already is, we don't need to be thinner, some can't get any fatter, and I can't be more beautiful inside cause i already AM, but I certainly don’t need d world to accept me for "who I is" or the Beauty that I be because my WISH came true the wish to be ME. BOY I real SATISFIED WITH D ME, that I CAME TO BE.
