Have you ever wished that your life was different?
Wished you didn’t have the past that haunts you daily,
The disappointment in your parents’ eyes,
Longing to fit in but knowing it will never happen.
“Make a wish” they say every year on your birthday,
You wish for the same thing every time
To be acknowledged for your achievements.
How many hoops do you have to jump through?
10? 20? 50?
What happens when there are no more hoops?
Then what?
Nothing but a wish.

I was crying writing this.
