I wish that for once my hair would do what I want,
I wish that your eyes would stop haunting my thoughts.
I wish I knew what I'd be good at in life,
I wish I knew why I like to start fights.
I wish that my bitterness would go away,
I wish that I would have begged you to stay.
I wish I could decipher lust from love,
I wish I knew why I wasn't enough.
I wish that I could let people in more,
I wish I wasn't so familiar with my bathroom floor.
I wish that the porcelain would stop calling my name,
I wish I could put down the razors, but I deserve the pain.
I wish that it was easier to get on the right track,
I wish I could take a step, without taking three back.
I wish that my wishes would always come true,
But all I can do is wish, and hope that they do.
