Sometimes I wish I had no eyes
Because then, just maybe, I wouldn't cry.
Sometimes I wish I had no legs,
So I couldn't run away from the fear in my head.
Sometimes I wish I had no hands,
So I couldn't feel the pain that life demands.
Sometimes I wish I had no ears,
Because ears mean hearing and hearing means tears.
Sometimes I wish I had no nose,
So the lies I've told don't cause it to grow.
Sometimes I wish that I had no brain,
Maybe then, I wouldn't feel so much pain.
Sometimes I wish that I had no heart,
So I would not feel the burn of it tearing apart.
Sometimes I wish I was no longer around,
Because there is no hope left to be found.
But then I think of the stars in the sky,
How they continue to shine as time passes by.
I think of the Angels as they guide me around,
And the luck of the pennies that I have found.
I think of the birds that sing in the trees,
I think of the leaves that sway in the breeze.
I think of the children as they play in the park,
I think of the owls hooting in the dark.
And I remind myself it's okay to be sad,
Because I am important too, not bad.
It doesn't matter how different I really can be,
Because I am myself and I am being me.
I have plenty of gifts to share with others,
So join with me, all my sisters and brothers.
To remind everyone to be themselves,
You can be yourself and I can be myself.
