People grant wishes;
birthdays, prayers, holidays.
I wished for 15 years straight, same wish all again;
every year the same thing.
That’s when I realized the wish
wasn’t going to become something I wanted,
but something I needed to change within myself,
my thoughts, and my way of being.
Ever since, I’ve truly wished
that I could’ve woken up from those nightmares
and wished that those obsessions and habits I had;
were gone.
