When kids write their birthday lists, They want the newest Iphone, A certain brand of jeans, Or the best Jordans. Is this what growing up is, The moment you realize those Things donβt matter? Because if I made a true Birthday list now, I would want World peace An end to world hunger A way to make college more affordable Better patience with those I love A way to deal with my insomnia A man to hold and cherish for life And for the world to have more compassion And destroy all traces of hatred. I wish I could stop all my worrying; I wish I could write birthday lists like I used to.
