Abigail Hauschild - Wishes

In a perfect world, I'll be…
That's it
Just Be
Done striving and scheming
Done choking back screaming

I could list cookie cutter dreams
Of a life filled with love
Where I have one of everything

But a house on a hill
With four kids and a pool
Doesn't mean I have a
Life made of meaning


A good job and a dog
Won't quiet my fear
Just like a shoulder to cry on
Won't dry up my tears

So if you're asking what I'd wish
If I saw a shooting star tonight
I would whisper quietly

To stop wishing\n\nAbigail Hauschild
