I wish I were beautiful,
I wish I could sing.
I wish I had a cute smile
And giggled at everything.

I wish I could play guitar.
I wish I could draw.
I wish I had beautiful almond eyes
That could see what no one else saw.

I wish if you watered me,
I would grow like a seed.
I wish I could write poetry
That people would actually read.
