the worth of wishes

my dad told me i could wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one got full first.
he also told me that opinions were like assholes because everyone had one.
that got me in trouble once or twice. but i still wish. and i still hold my opinions closer to my heart more than i do most people. i think they're more trustworthy

i wish certain people would change
i wish i could love someone more than he'll let me
some things in my life are going rather well
i'm happy about that but at the same time i wish
i wish people would understand that i don't like to be touched
i wish people would understand that i don't like to be around people

i'm so busy these days trying to live and i hate this schedule
but what else am i supposed to do, really i just wish
