Sometimes, I wish I was a tree, di M. Mc Graugh

Sometimes, I wish I was a tree

Watching above, everything I would see.

Sometimes, I wish I was an oak.

One that went to sleep and never woke.

I’m a good girl in the worst ways Most days. Some days, I’m a bad girl in all the best way… I’m pretty good,

Spring into fall, And we’ve all hit a wall. Love comes quickly. Sometimes, it grows. Summer, then rain,

A tree fell in the park last night… I didn’t hear it go. The innards smelled of peppermint, And I felt the crumbling dirt Turn into ash in my hand.

It’s so quiet. I feel soft. The winter hurts, So I burrow inside, But I forget how to

I wish I wish I wish I could swim in oblivion. Have a tummy full of pills.

Let my joy be a promise To my future self Who is so beautiful Even if she isn’t pretty.
