i wish people cared.

why
don't they?
when you think it's ok,
when you think you
have a chance,
you always find out that you
don't.
that you're a small beam in
a world full
of shining stars.
that you
will just be
lost and left
alone
and broken
in a world full
of people
who have their own problems.
where yours don't matter.

i wish the world would stop.

why
can't it?
no. i know.
it will keep spinning
each second
each minute
every hour of every day
it turns and time
won't stop
for anything.  
but,

i keep making wishes

why?
they won't
come true
and i keep
searching for an
answer
to please me.
but i will only keep searching
because
the only thing in my way
is me.
i can't do anything about anything
so why do i try?

because people will be people
regardless
of whether i wish
or not.
and i know that
anyone can be a
beacon of
hope.

as long as the wish
shoots across the
sky.

I tried
with soft piano playing
and gentle words
but no
you don't
know
me
you don't know
how long
I spent
trying
to
get you
to understand
it took too long
so
now I've finished
looking
you meant
too
much to
me
but we
are too
different

I know you're busy,
But hear me out
You've changed my life
Without a doubt
I was tired
I couldn't breathe
But now I'm healed
I wish you'd see
All the things I couldn't do,
I'm invincible now,
Thanks to you

tired is the moon
shining with the stars above
people on the ocean
quiet breathing
air is brought to life
sparkling with happiness
one sign stands alone
mourning with despair
shadows circle round and round
watching

— The End —
