Wishful Thinking

I wish people would take the time to appreciate details, the way the sun looks in the morning, 
the way the trees change color, 
the breeze on a cool day, 
the way the moon looks at night

Everything is so beautiful yet I feel so trapped 

I wish I could become the change in seasons
I wish I could become the stars
The moon
The sun

Just watching as humans go about their circular daily rotations

Everyday is the same

It’s suffocating 

I wish people dreamed like I do,
The world would be better if there were more dreamers

I’m so tired of monotony

I want to be one with nature
I feel so connected with it that I cry for it’s cause
I think I can control the rain

Wishful thinking 

I’ve always been a wishful thinker in a world made to destroy wishes

I don’t know the people I used to

I wish we were still kids
All we needed was wishful thinking 

I wish I was back when everything was new
And undiscovered
And uncharted 
And tangible

Back when all I had to worry about was the next adventure

Everyone is growing up too fast

I don’t know them anymore

I don’t know anyone anymore

I wish I didn’t feel like every second is slipping past me

And most of all I wish I didn’t feel guilty about it

I want to find something new

I want to go back when I still loved school
When everything was new
And undiscovered 
And uncharted
And tangible 

Now I feel like I’m suffocating 

I wish I could be in between 

I wish I could be new and old,
Wise and whimsy,
Logical and dream

Dream like
Dream bound
Dream made

I am the dreamer
The explorer
And the voyager

Tonight I am weary
But I long for the day my soul goes home

Take me home
