It's foolish to wish on eyelashes, stars, dandelions, numbers, and everything in between

The mere concept of grasping upon straws to achieve our desires in itself has become nonsensical childhood rhymes.

But if it grants me even the smallest placebo of solace in this unforgiving *******, then...

Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have this wish I wish tonight.
