Wishes

Some people wish their lives away.
We wish for things we do not have-
Money.
Fame.
Beauty.
Sometimes we wish for
Impossible dreams,
Where the dead sister comes to life,
Or we relive the past in a different way.
Everyone wishes.
Everyone dreams.
But why do we waste away,
Longing for things that do not come?
Why don’t we look to the now?
Enjoy what’s here?
Why can’t we fight
And make some of those wishes
Come true?
