I wish…

I wish I may

I wish I might

Have the wish

I wish tonight

I wish for power,

Love and fame

I wish I were

A household name

I wish for beauty

Of the skin

Don’t really care

About within

I wish for a thinner,

More muscular body

I wish that my self-esteem

Weren’t quite so shoddy

I wish I were shallow,

Not deep and depressed

I wish my sole worry

Was how I am dressed

I wish for boy toys,

And lustful fun

I wish for prizes,

Given, not won

I wish my life

Were effortless

I wish my life

Were half this blessed

I wish for anything

But this place

A different name

A different face

But wishing is

All this is

No dream come true

For this poor kid

I wish I may

I wish I might

Have the wish

I wish tonight
