I wish...

By the Dreamer

I woke up wanting to cry.
I wish I had a bigger reason.

I wish I had a bigger reason to cry about, because the one that is eating me inside is not big enough. I sat down for a good fifteen minutes and tried to see (in vain) if I can bring out the refreshing and soothing drops of anti-comfort.

I wish people would think twice before doing something. I wish people would think about the others they are affecting with what they do. The hearts they are going to break. The emotions they are going to conjure. The warm nice people they are going to transform into cold ones. The cold ones they are simply going to make colder.

I wish people would stop pretending to be who they are not. I wish people who are not nice stopped going around pretending to care and pretending to be nice just for the sake of it. I wish being cold and b***** was not a lifestyle.

I wish people would stop telling others "I'm a cold person." with a glitter in their eye. I wish usually nice and warm people would just stop being so fake and superficial. I wish they just accepted themselves for who they are, and not try to be mean because they think its "cool."

I wish people were nicer. I wish people smiled more often. I wish people would say "please" to get something, and once they got it, I wished they'd say "thank you." I wish they'd mean it. I wish people were more compassionate towards fellow men.

I wish people who spend millions realize that there are billions out there who are living in extreme poverty, that people in some far off places were eating clay and mud to survive, and that mosquitoes ignore some, because there is simply no blood in them to drain.

I wish people were realistic. I wish random strangers would stop coming up to you when you have extra food on your plate, and tell you that kids in Africa are starving, and that you shouldn't waste food. Come to me with a viable plan of sending my extra food to Africa, and I will stop wasting food. I wish people didn't get carried away with the whole compassion thing.

I wish people would stop crying about the smallest of reasons. I wish they understand that however big your issue seems, there is someone else with a bigger and worrying issue. Since this would finally leave one person whose reason is so immense, I wish he or she had a shoulder to cry on, and someone to comfort them.

I wish I had a bigger reason. I woke up wanting to cry.
