• Broken Wishes

    Wish upon the falling star.
    Oh, wow, it’s very far.
    Just a few million miles between us.
    Little star, we have much to discuss.

    I’m very unhappy with your service,
    And you’re starting to make me nervous.
    I’ve been wishing every night,
    The same wish, the same dream.
    Was this star not right?
    Do I need to choose another ball of light?
    If so, alright.

    Okay, new star.
    I’ve searched the sky all night,
    Just to find you.
    This time, I hope I’m right.
    I had the biggest and brightest,
    Of you all.
    But now I’ve chosen the slighest;
    I wanted someone small.

    Little star, can you help me?
    Help me with my wish.
    I think we can agree,
    That what I need is this.
    I’ve wanted it for so long,
    And my patience is wearing thin.
    I want somewhere I can belong,
    And that’s no where I’ve been.

    So can you just sprinkle
    Some magic dust upon me?
    In the sky, I see your faint twinkle,
    And I want so badly to be free.
    I’m wondering if it was pointless to try,
    Because it seems like by this time,
    I should be able to fly.
    People act like wishing is a crime.

    It’s been too long, you know,
    Little star of mine.
    I picked you ages ago,
    And, still, nothing is fine.
    Can’t you give me a clue,
    So I know what I’ve done wrong?
    I don’t know what to do.
    I just want to belong.

    Has my wish been broken?
    If so, I guess I’m not the first.
    The truth has been spoken,
    And my hope has been burst.
    A star can’t give you what you want or need.
    You’ve got to make your own dream,
    For any hope to succeed.

    Decide what you want to do,
    But don’t leave anything up to fate;
    Your dreams are for you to pursue.
    Life is yours to create.
