I wish I was real
I wish I knew what real was
I wish I didn't have to hide my tears as I talked only to find that all my tears had dried up years ago
I wish I was open
I wish I knew how to open up
I wish I could just open my mouth and talk, talk about everything wrong without feeling like I'm annoying someone-or everyone.
I wish I was me
I wish I knew who that was
I wish I didn't have a different personality for every hour of the day every day if the week
I wish I was normal
I wish I knew what normal was
I wish I could act however and talk freely and still be loved
I wish I was seen
I wish I knew how to make people want to see me
I wish I wasn't that one friend who is left out of conversation and is forgotten about as soon as there is something better
I wish I wasn't fake
I wish I wish I had that confidence
I wish I didn't have to wear a mask of makeup in order to feel pretty enough to be seen by my peers
I wish I wasn't the way I am
I wish I didn't trust so easily
I wish I didn't wish for so much.
