I wish...


I didn't like sweets and all things fattening so much
I didn't bite my cuticles
I were more even-tempered
I had more self-control
Our lawn was filled in
I didn't need so much sleep
I could afford to buy people things they would like
Teachers weren't so poorly compensated
There were more hours in the day
Cookies made you thin
I didn't take blurry pictures
My parents lived nearby
I had a personal chef
I were naturally thin
I helped people more
I enjoyed vegetables more than junk
All of my family lived nearby
I enjoyed exercise more
I didn't dread talking to my brother
Pregnancy didn't make you fat
It would never get above 75 degrees
Bella would always be so sweet
I didn't like to sleep so much
All of you would tell me what you wish...

I could repay the kindness my family has shown me time and time again
I could rewind life and do a few things differently
