xc. DESIRES FALLING FLAT THANKS TO BEING A COWARD.
some daughters dream of having kids that hold their faces, some men dream of owning a fast sports car that has all their friends growing jealous. some dogs dream of being cats, and some cats dream of being dogs. some fish dream of the world outside of their home, in the tiny bowl that they swim, only to forget it minutes later and desire it all over again. some kids dream of what it would be like to touch the sky, fly high above the stars and wave hello to the people on mars. some wish to hate on others for no particular reason while others wish to love. most wish the world would just stop being so cruel, ease their problems off their shoulders well. my grandmother wishes her daughter was catholic, married a catholic, had her third husband as the priest. teenagers wish they could meet their idol, only ever getting to see them through a computer screen. snow wishes it didn't melt away so easily, the sun wishes it could friend winter more softly.
and some people want to die.
just please, stop asking why.
