I wish for things to get better But wishes don't come true Birthday candles Shooting stars Eyelashes I've tried them all Upon a friend I wished one day that they would never leave Yet I look around me presently and that friend is nowhere to be found If only to escape my disappointment I have boycotted wishing altogether I do not put faith in people Ideas Or objects anymore Instead if wanting something I go out there and make it happen myself

Wishes Don't Come True
I wish for things to get better But wishes don't come true Birthday candles Shooting stars Eyelashes I've tried them all Upon a friend I wished one day that they would never leave Yet I look around me presently and that friend is nowhere to be found If only to escape my disappointment I have boycotted wishing altogether I do not put faith in people Ideas Or objects anymore Instead if wanting something I go out there and make it happen myself
I used to wish on 11:11 every night I even had an alarm set for it but those days are forever gone
