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.
