I don't wish for many things from others. But I do wish the most from myself. I wish I could play the guitar, the piano, the ukulele, the violin, the cello; as many instruments as I possibly can. I wish I had amazing grades, like 90's and 100's on all of my educational classes; and that I had joined the PAP and AP courses sooner in order to impress colleges and universities. I wish I was more slim than I am now, and that I had attractive curves - not as in oversized ******* but as in nice curves on my stomach, legs and arms. I wish I was pretty, as in big beautiful and attractive eyes, soft and colored (not pale) lips, clear skin free of acne and ****** hair, long and luscious and silky hair, soft skin, and a cute nose. I wish I was a nice sister, one who didn't ignore her siblings, who interacted with them and got along with them greatly. I wish I was an amazing daughter and family member, one who didn't argue and wasn't distant from her parents, who visited her family members frequently and was sociable with them all. I wish I had the best personality, one that didn't ignore her friends and family, one that always made people smile and laugh, one that was sweet & nice to everyone, one that was perfect. I wish I was perfect. Too bad they're all wishes.

My Wish List
We all wear skin. We all wear clothes (or at least I hope all of us do). We all wear expressions. We all wear similar tastes. We all wear differing preferences. And we all wear masks. One thing we all without a doubt wear, are masks. You wear one. I wear one. Mine has smiles plastered on it all the time; it has joy; laughter; contentment; humor; happiness; wholesomeness; confidence; courage; and life on it. It looks so pretty. It covers the frowns; tears; sorrow; longing; self-consciousness; fear; discontent; angst; anxiety; self-loathing; and the death that haunts my soul. What does yours wear?

What We All Wear
I want to cry. I'm sad. I want to die. I'm not the person, I so badly want to be. I'm capable of being someone better; but you see... I don't try. I'm disappointed in myself because I look in the mirror & lie to myself everyday, falsely assuring myself that I'm content and alright. But I want to play the guitar, sing, dance, draw; anything but fight a battle I don't try enough to win. I want to cook, be pretty, smile, be perfect & popular, but while I sit here, wistfully typing and wishing, my chances to change are slowly finishing.
