Wish

If I had one wish,

People wouldn't be cutting lines.

Kids wouldn't be killing themselves,

Barely even nine.

If I had one wish,

People wouldn't be dying.

People would be helping,

Not just pressing record.

If I had one wish,

People would use their hands to greet,

Not hurt all they meet.

This world is full of hate

And if I had just one wish,

We would change that.

Then I wouldn't have to say

This world is full of hate

As a fact

One of my favorites. I don't really know what inspired this. I came home one day from a day of bullying and wrote this down. This poem has earned me a few moments on stage at my school including on suicide awareness day
