I wish I was one of those girls who could laugh for fake candid photos I wish I didn’t like to dance so much I wish I was into white guys who were blind about their privilege I wish I laughed at the things they laugh at I wish I wasn’t Cuban sometimes I wish I wasn’t Lebanese either I wish I liked makeup tutorials I wish I liked putting hours into my hair I wish I was dedicated to my beauty I wish I knew how to cook for a man I wish I knew how to keep my room neat I wish I liked corny quotes about happiness I wish my deep thoughts didn’t sabotage my relationships I wish my mind wasn’t so scattered I wish I could join a sorority I wish I could put up with most groups of girls I wish I saw sexuality as black and white I wish I wasn’t lazy I wish I understood the science of dressing like an instagram girl I wish I was better at school I wish I didn’t get along with guys so well I wish I didn’t have a weird sense of humor I wish I didn’t resent my parents I wish I never tried drugs I wish I wasn’t so experimental with myself I wish I wasn’t so hopeless I wish I got through breakups more easily I wish I didn’t like my hair short I wish I would take off my makeup before I go to bed more I wish I didn’t like talking about controversial topics I wish I didn’t like going against the grain I wish I got ready faster I wish I had a more realistic idea of time I wish I had bubbly handwriting I wish I liked Vera Bradley I wish I didn’t like it when my ******* could be seen through my shirt I wish I liked pop music I wish I didn’t notice how they frame commercials I wish I was one of those girls that only had *** with 4 people I wish I didn’t like it when my **** looked big I wish I liked baking I wish I didn’t like **** I wish I didn’t like vibrators I wish I could talk about materialistic things for long periods of time I wish I didn’t struggle with depression or ADD I wish I didn’t get ***** playing cops and robbers growing up I wish I wasn’t cynical I wish I didn’t like trap music I wish there was a plot twist to this poem where I didn’t wish these things at all
