Thoughts of a Depressed High Schooler

I Wish

I wish we could go back

Back to those simple days

Back to when we didn't need money

When we weren't so worried over relations

Back to those days when we could go outside to have some fun

Instead of staying inside on a daily, fantasizing on what could

Loving each other, not hating anyone

And instead of tearing one another down, we'd build 'em up

Back to those days when we didn't worry over how we looked

When we didn't try to hook up

When we didn't try to make up and break up

Those times when relationships weren't deemed "normal" for being dysfunctional

ENOUGH!

I wish we could do things over

Start over anew

Make this generation better, and the one after even more

Set good examples, not bad ones

Have our elders respect us, not be ashamed

I wish we could live in a society where being yourself wasn't looked down upon

But celebrated as a whole, made an accomplishment

I wish we lived in a society where a girl doesn't have to be cautious when walking by a guy

Or when people weren't taken advantage of so openly

Where we loved each other, and treated everyone as our own

And not be demeaning, but full of care

I wish we were all treated as equals and not as categorized animals

Where everyone felt comfortable being in their own skin and not envy others

Where girls and guys didn't want to try so hard to impress one another

Where looking a certain way wasn't the norm of society

Oh, how I wish for so many things

But sadly, none will come true

Oh boy, how I wish...
