Ok for now
I wish someone would have told me that I'd be ok
I wish someone would have held my hand
And guided me towards the right way
I wish someone would have helped me pick my head up
And showed me what life could be
I wish someone would have smirked at my first heartbreak
And instead of asking questions, just let me be
Then explained why it's ok to cry
Followed by all the reasons why sometimes life just lets love die
I wish I gave my time to men who knew how to kiss me on my forehead
And remind me that life is nothing short of beautiful
I wish more men could see how my insides are beautiful
I wish I was taught to tell a man from a boy
I wish my mother stood beside me as
I looked for defects in each mirror
I wish each teacher would have encouraged me
to follow my dreams instead of study for SATs
I wish the school system told me that
my worth wasn't defined by my test scores
And I wish television showed me that struggle is reality
And I'd be happiest with emotional and mental stability
I wish I broke less hearts
I wish my father wouldn't have cheated on my mother
And I wish it were easier to find a lover nothing like him
I wish it were all a little bit easier
I wish I could speak to the younger me
And apologize for all the hurt and confusion I put me through
Look what I've made of me
I wish little me could see
I can't keep from smiling
Through every struggle I learn to find I am
far more powerful than anything formed against me
I just wished someone would have told me that
I'd be ok
