far from closure
By atia
Do you think it's funny How I got all the little things I wished for? Like when I wanted my hair brown and curled Something happened as I grew up Or how when I'd wish for my teacher to choose me She always would Or when I wanted this girl to be my best friend She was Or when I wished to get into that school I did And when I wished for him to like me He did. I was just a child then Now I feel sad I didn't wish for the big things Often enough.. Like not having lost the life I knew Like our house to always be Like my mom being appreciated Like not having to leave my home Like me to have been content where I was Like my dad not having lost Everything he worked hard for Like the world and honesty Like friendships that lasted And someone there to take my shit.. Material things do waste away They don't matter I tell myself But what I have been through Is something I live with Every single day...
