Wishes

**it would really mena a lot to me if you took the time to comment. thanks. :)

I wake up
to a beating drum
called my life
It sounds like no other
I wake up to a sun
a sun that burns so hot
and I think to myself

All my wishes are made in silence
If I wanna live them out
why shouldn't I just override them
I can be me
I am free
I may be only 13
But I know what's real
and what's real is what I feel

I get dressed every morning
and sing to myself
a little song that no one's hearing
why am I not louder
I could be spreading my word
of my sadness and laughter

But all I know
is my wishes
my life my world
my soon to be
I want to be
Me

I go to the mall
a big fountain by my side
teenagers walking around
perfect bodies walking by
that's just not me
no one seems to realize

but as i sit there
a penny in my hand
I look down into the water
and see a million fishes
and as I drop the penny in the water
I wish away all my wishes

It's okay not to be perfect
just be yourself
and let the world deal with it
Write this down
place it in your pocket
Today is the day
don't wish your life away
