Droplets of Starlight: Poems

I wish

Poem Inspired by Kip Fulbeck

I wish I lived in a world where you were loved, accepted and judged by the size of you heart, not the size of your waist

I wish I could read myself into books to forget about the stress of the present

I wish people would smile at the strangers they walked by

I wish no one would be hurt because their opinion was not valued or listened to

I wish everyone could love anyone

I wish everyone was a pickle so we couldn't judge and exclude because of our differences, all pickles are weird and different.

I wish families would stay together and boys would come home from war

I wish my hot chocolate would cool off faster, so I wouldn't burn my tongue

I wish people paid for gifts in hugs and kisses

I wish teachers were superheroes and overpaid "athletes" were the villains

I wish the government actually respected an individual's rights

I wish everyone woman had the right to choose

I wish math was easier

I wish fictional characters really existed

I wish fractions were nicer

I wish it would snow

I wish vocabulary was more natural and the trees told stories

I wish mosquito bites weren't so itchy

I wish squirrels wouldn't break into houses through screen doors

I wish ice cream had the same nutritional value as water but still tasted like ice cream

I wish the Holocuast was remembered properly and everyone apologized

I wish genocide meant promoting peace without a war and millions of deaths

I wish wars were fought with bubbles and everyone always collapsed in a heap of laughter

I wish that my hand wouldn't shake so hard during a performance

I wish I could sing without going flat

I wish I wasn't so over-dramatic

I wish I was a (better) writer

I wish a specific person knew how much I respected them in such a way that it's almost creepy

I wish I could understand Plato

I wish money wasn't a huge problem

I wish everyone had clothes on their back, a roof overhead and food to eat

I wish there was more clean water

I wish my life was a musical

I wish someone special an anonymous location in the US of A loved me back

I wish baby taranchulas jumping at you at 1 am in the morning in Mexico, weren't so scary

I wish I had pretty handwriting

I wish I had washed my hair last night

I wish I remember to be more grateful

I wish the rainforest wasn't endangered

I wish I talked slower

I wish I could meet my favorite movie stars

I wish I had one special talent instead of several not-as-special talents

I wish I was considered diverse too

I wish I stopped pointing out my imperfections

I wish Mr. Darcy was real

I wish wouldn't ramble on so much...especially in poems

I wish the stars shone brighter

I wish no one judged books by their covers

I wish people could accept change

I wish people were responsible for their actions

I wish women ruled the world

I wish I wasn't so tired

I wish I wasn't self-centered, egotisitical and selfish

I wish calculators could burp

I wish I wasn't so gross and weird

I wish school started one hour later

I (still) wish I could read myself into books

I wish I could be an astronaut

I wish I could change the world

I wish I wasn't so nervous before shows

I wish the gun had shot opening night

I wish I could sit in a certain class forever and ever and ever

I wish I could have met Shakespeare or Thomas Jefferson

I wish he would love me

I wish for a lot of things, but

I wish for one true wish,

I wish for freedom.
