Secret wishes

by traceybilsbarrow   Sep 7, 2007


When i look back on life
i guess ive had a laugh
times when we were growing up
acting silly
acting daft
not your usuall pretty girl
with ribbons in her hair
but do you know what
i just didnt care,
always in trouble
,out with the boys
never played with any girls toys
one xmas eve ,.mum n dad drunk
playing santa.. you wouldnt belive
got somethings mixed up,
under the trees
when we awoke excited
ya hoo
the boys got the dolls
and all of its clothes
i got the guns cars n tools
and all of those,
no one was crying
certainly not me
even the boys were very happy
no one exchanged them
we were so proud
we got what we secretly wished for
but not out loud

( be careful what you wish for)
