If I Could …
Sometimes I wish I could control time, so I could live in this moment forever. But I can’ t, so I won’ t.
Sometimes I wish I could fly, so I could get away from here. But I can’ t, so I won’ t.
Sometimes I wish I could be invisible, so I could be free to do whatever. But I can’ t, so I won’ t.
Sometimes I wish I could morph into other people, so I could walk a day in another’ s shoes. But I can’ t, so I won’ t.
Sometimes I wish I could read minds, so I could hear what others think about me. But I can’ t, so I won’ t.
Sometimes I wish I could just be me, and not hold myself up to such unattainable ideals. But I can do that, so I will.
