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
