A simple wish

A simple wish, really

nothing much

nowhere far

no crazy place

a simple, domestic idea, I guess.

A small boat, really

nothing much

nowhere far

not for too long

a single day, I guess.

A solo excursion, really

nothing much

nowhere far

just a day on the water

all by myself

my and my thoughts, I guess.

Peaceful quiet

silent solidarity

all I really wish for, really

a simple wish

of a small boat

just a solo excursion

one sunny day

when the water sparkles and shines and gleams

with just me and my thoughts, I guess.

  • Exploring

    The toy falls 

    faster 

    faster 

    closer to the ground 

    its paws reaching out

    it lands on the grass with a light thud

    it hides there

    waiting

    quietly.

  • Everything

    I have the chance to do anything

    not quite everything

    but many things

    and I don't know what I want to do.

    I could be a writer

    or start my own company

    or be an Einstein-level mathematician

  • Stereotypes

    I hate stereotypes

    and the heavy, constant smell of perfume as I walk by my classmates wearing too much lip gloss

    but I like dressing myself up

    and I do care about my appearance
