I wish that things could have been better.

I wish my waist had been a little smaller.

I wish dad stayed around a little longer.

I wish grown-ups just understood.

I wish we didn't think life was war.

I wish mom hadn't fallen sick.

I wish I wasn't so closed in.

I wish someone could hear my voice.

I wish we could just get along.

I wish people would know.

I wish people would know about it.

I wish it never existed.

I wish the stereotypes would just go away.

I wish people wouldn't have to be hurt.

I wish people wouldn't have to hurt the way I do.

I wish things could just be silent for a day so we wouldn't need to continue this ongoing war that people don't need.

I wish the world could pause.

I wish the world we lived in wasn't so sick.

I wish we could love who we were.

I wish the judgment would disappear as if it was never here.

I wish that things could have been better.
